Welcome to the Millennium Farms website. Here you can find produce and vegetable and herb plants like you remember from your family's  garden years ago.  Our motto is: "Where flavor comes first."

June Update: The farm and nursery is now closed for the season, and thanks to all for their patronage! For produce, come see us at the Vancouver Farmer's Market on Saturdays 9-3 (we're in front of the Slocum House on Esther St.) and now at the OHSU Farmer's Market on Tuesdays from 11:30-3:30.

 
 
Arkley's Take 1 - 2  in Territorial Seed Co. Tomato Contest
Our heartiest congratulations go out to Tremaine and Gail Arkley, longtime Millennium Farms customers. They entered, for the first time, the Northwest's largest tomato taste contest and took first and second place! Tremaine entered tomatoes from Sudduth's Brandywine (the ORIGINAL strain) and, as you guessed, Gail won with the not-widely-known Pineapple. Both are outstanding beefsteak types, with hit-you-between-the-eyes flavor. As Jeff Spicoli would say, 'Arkleys, that's Awesome, Totally Awesome!'. There's a great article in the 3/10/05 Oregonian about the Arkleys and the contest. THIS YEAR WE HAVE STARTS OF ALL THE WINNERS OF ALL OF THE TSCTT CONTESTS! SEE THE TOMATO LIST PAGE FOR FURTHER INFO.

The 2004 AND 2005 TSTT winner, Pineapple. Yes they really are that big, and have that ohmigod flavor...

There was a great article in the 4/17/03 Oregonian's Garden Section/pullout on TOMATOES. There's some good hints in there, as well as excellent info on some wonderful varieties that the good folks at OSU have given us. And, there's even a picture of a Kozy Kote with your's truly....

We offer seasonal produce (see the Availability List) 52 weeks a year, and start from seed our large selection of those delicious heirloom vegetable starts, with a few surprises too!

Some folks don't believe how much our plants grow. Below are some photos from Tom Lipman in Hillsdale which will show you how fast (and how big) they grow... Thanks a lot Tom! And take a look at the last photo...all of that in JUST ONE DAY'S harvest!
