Lake View Farm is a family-owned farm in Oregon committed to providing fresh, healthy, and natural food products while avoiding additives and harmful chemicals. The farm emphasizes sustainable practices, offering a variety of products such as grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, and fresh eggs, all produced under humane conditions. Despite legal constraints preventing the sale of raw dairy, the farm invites customers to participate in its cow share program and encourages feedback on their products.

grow this quality food on our own farm. We are committed to supplying the healthiest products feasible by

low stress environment, plenty of fresh air and sunshine and all the grass our animals can eat.
