Built from the ground up

In 2022, my wife Sara and I purchased 34.75 acres in Klamath Falls, Oregon — raw land that had sat fallow for years with zero infrastructure. No irrigation. No equipment. Just open sky, volcanic soil, and a lot of potential.

What drew us here wasn't just the land — it was the idea of building something real. Something our family could work with their hands, watch grow season by season, and pass down. We relocated from Portland, put down roots in Southern Oregon, and got to work.

Over the last three years we have poured sweat and personal finances into the property. We now own a full irrigation system and farming equipment, and are in our second year growing winter wheat — baled as small bales for local livestock feed.

After this season we plan to transition acreage into alfalfa, with a portion reserved for future cattle grazing. Our mission stays constant: growing quality livestock feed — wheat, alfalfa, and eventually garlic — for the Southern Oregon agricultural community.

Winter Wheat & Rye Grass

Currently in our second season growing winter wheat and rye grass across the property. Harvested as three-string small square bales for local livestock feed operations throughout Southern Oregon and the Klamath Basin.

Alfalfa & Future Grazing

Following this wheat season we plan to transition into alfalfa production, with acreage set aside for eventual cattle grazing — building toward a diversified livestock feed operation.

Pastured Eggs

Our flock of backyard chickens produce fresh eggs available locally through Klamath Grown — a regional food hub connecting Southern Oregon farms directly with the local community.

Precision Farming

Data-driven agriculture

Farming is as much about information as it is about labor. At Sunset Basin Farms we're building an IoT environmental monitoring platform to bring real-time field data into every decision we make.

Using LoRaWAN sensors deployed across the property, we collect continuous soil moisture, temperature, and environmental readings — piped through ChirpStack and MQTT into Node-RED dashboards running on our local server infrastructure.

The goal isn't to replace farmer intuition — it's to give it better information. Data reduces guesswork on irrigation timing, fertilization schedules, and soil health tracking across seasons.
