Bounty Park Food Forest

We envision the creation of Bounty Park, America’s first high production commercial scale

permaculture food forest campus. Located in Yamhill County’s largest town, McMinnville, Oregon, with a population of 34,500, The primary purpose of the 13-acre campus is to sustainably grow and distribute fresh organic food to Yamhill County residents, particularly to underserved populations most likely to suffer from the effects of climate change.

Additionally, this campus will provide resources and showcase traditional Indigenous and other cultural foodway practices; food preparation and preservation techniques; sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices; and soil and water conservation best management practices targeted at climate change mitigation.

Finally, Bounty Park will act as a community resiliency hub. As climate events become more frequent and severe, Bounty Park’s CARE initiative (Climate Assistance, Resiliency, and Education) will provide critical support by combining sustainable food systems, emergency preparedness, and community educational resources into a single, integrated hub housed in the LEED-certified headquarters building.
