About: Wapato Island Farm is precious and sacred land that is collectively tended by a community with a deep desire to honor the earth and to preserve and share its beauty and healing power.

We are a Matriarchal, 32-acre working farm located on Wapato Island (Sauvie Island) in Portland, Oregon. The island was a special place of commerce before colonization, surrounded by the Columbia River and rich with fertile soil, and has hosted a diverse variety of seeds. The farm has been in the family for over a decade now, and with the help of community, we honor this piece of tierra with respect to its original Multnomah Tribe land- and space-tenders. We provide human-free spaces for wildlife, care for the pond and the spirit of reciprocity that lives there, and strive to offer this place the physical and spiritual food that we can offer as people. We practice no-till, regenerative farming without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. As the soil heals from previous exploitations, it offers more bounty, allowing us to grow food and medicine for more people, and host cleaner water and richer habitats for animals and spirits.

Our BOTANICÁ is a space for making medicine and houses ethically grown and harvested plants, grown here on our farm or wildcrafted in the Oregon wilderness. We handcraft herbal smoked salts, tinctures, salves, vinegars, essences, elixirs and hydrosols—each batch an artistic, intuitive medicine in which we deepen our relationship with the plants.

Our medicines are made in the practice of folk herbalism—meaning, our relationship with the plants and the medicine we make with them is a reflection of our indigenous and ancestral ties and the relationship our ancestors had with Mother Earth. Our practice of folk herbalism combines indigenous wisdom, cultural and ancestral tradition, and reliance on the plants as the healers.
