Meet the Orrantias

“When we couldn’t find the kind of learning environment we dreamed of for our kids, we built it ourselves. Tierra Ohana is the place we needed, and now it’s here for others too.”

—Dusty & Riley Orrantia

the Vision

Through our education programs, market garden, and food forest, Tierra Ohana Farm aims to model sustainable, community-centered agriculture.

We strive to create a space where people can reconnect with the land, with each other, and with the food we grow, prepare, and eat. With the support and engagement of our community, we envision the farm growing into a sanctuary of abundance, offering food security, healing, and nourishment for all. We are proud to be part of the local food revolution, a movement with global momentum, and we hope to serve as both an inspiration and a practical model for others working to revive and strengthen small-scale farming.

About the farm

Tierra Ohana Farm is tucked into the Southwest foothills between Ashland and Medford, Oregon, where rich soil and changing seasons offer endless opportunities to learn and grow. As a working farm and education center, we grow food, tend animals, and invite the community to connect with the land through regenerative practices and hands-on experiences.

About our Practices

We follow regenerative organic methods that honor the land and support long-term ecological health. From composting and cover cropping to rotational grazing and water stewardship, every decision we make is rooted in reciprocity. We care for our soil, our animals, and our community with the belief that healthy systems create thriving people. By working in harmony with nature, we are not just growing food, we are growing resilience.
