Growing Knowledge, Stewarding the Land

We envision a thriving and resilient regional food system rooted in regenerative farming, humane animal care, and thriving rural economies. As a nonprofit farm and learning center, our programs empower people to connect with the land, their food, and one another.

Where Purpose Meets Practice

Carnation Farms exists at the intersection of education, regenerative practices, and community. As a nonprofit organization, we are cultivating a stronger ecosystem through innovative programs and intentional land stewardship,

Whether it’s a farmer learning how to manage soil health or a chef discovering the seasonality of food firsthand, our mission is rooted in creating meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.
