Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust
Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust holds agricultural land in and near Portland for purposes of research and education on sustainable agriculture.
OSALT acts as an umbrella organization that provides land, management processes and non-profit status to local communities for sustainable food production through gardening, farming, research and education.
We now hold seven pieces of land in trust. Some are farms outside the city of Portland; some are community gardens in the city.
We also run several aligned programs. The largest is the Urban Farm Collective, which transforms vacant urban lots and backyards into productive community gardens used for education, community-building and improving food security. We then use a barter system to exchange our produce.
OSALT was founded in 1995 by Will Newman and Sue Clark as a 501(c)3 non-profit land trust. We are an all-volunteer organization.
