Cultivating vegetables, creativity, and community.
Located on the north side of Bend, Oregon, Authentique Artfarm is a market garden and art studio focused on sustainably growing the highest quality vegetables, creating art, and supporting the community.
​
Owners Kyle and Michèle started Authentique Artfarm in 2023 with the goal of creating a small farm that could provide for, and serve as a place of inspiration for, themselves and for others.
Throughout the season, the farm produces vegetables, seedlings, and flowers for sale and donation, is a working art studio, and hosts art workshops.
Our Farming Practices
Our goal is to grow the highest-quality food and plants in a sustainable way. Whether for sale or for donation, everyone deserves quality, nutritious food.
​
For the health of ourselves, our customers, our neighbors, and the many inhabitants of our garden and our larger property, we follow organic, no-till practices.
​
We see nature as something to work with, not battle against. To that end, we are continuously building rich, living soil and creating habitat within our garden to promote a thriving, balanced ecosystem to maximize productivity and minimize pest and disease management.
Art Workshops
Alongside growing quality produce, we pride ourselves on our unique dual disciplinary approach that includes an emphasis on building creativity and community. Through a series of workshops led by our very own resident artist, Michèle, we invite members of our community to join us on the farm and create works inspired by the world around us.
Where to find our products
Supporting local people in our community is the foundation of our farm. With that in mind, we pick our partners with care to ensure that our produces carries our mission forward from a seed to your plate.
Find our vegetables, seedlings, and gift artwork on sale at Central Oregon Locavore, a year-round farmers market.
