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.

Field Monitoring

Knowing the land

Farming has always depended on knowing the land. At Sunset Basin Farms, we are adding simple field sensors to help us better understand what is happening below the surface.

Our soil sensors track moisture, soil temperature, and other field conditions so we can make better decisions about irrigation, crop timing, and soil health. Instead of guessing when the ground is drying out, we can watch the conditions change over time and respond with better information.

The live field sensor panel shows the latest reading from one of our active field sensors. This is part of a larger effort to use practical, affordable technology to support water conservation, drought response, and better farm management in the Klamath Basin.

The goal is simple: keep traditional farming knowledge at the center, while giving farmers better tools to make informed decisions.
