Overview: Zenger Farm

Zenger Farm is a unique urban resource in outer Southeast Portland, encompassing both farm and wetland. The Friends of Zenger farm is proposing to develop the Center for Food and Environment on the site that will integrate many existing efforts around food and the environment.

The Center will serve as the state’s only “eco-agricultural park" where visitors can learn about ways for agriculture and natural areas to co-exist. Oregon Solutions helped bring public and private partners to the table to join this effort, and assist the project in moving forward.
