Apifera Farm

About Me

Apifera Farm is located 30 miles west of Portland, Oregon and is the home of artist Katherine Dunn. Nestled near the coastal range and surrounded by farm and vineyard land, the farm is also home to sheep, Pino Blangiforti the apron and pie loving donkey, as well as many other critters. Martyn Dunn is a horticulturist and operates his own landscape design service, and Katherine is a nationally recognized artist/illustrator. Together they moved to Apifera Farm in 2004, and set out to create a place they can call home, grow as much of their own food as possible and be good stewards to a neglected farm. As a child, the artist traveled yearly to her Uncle's horse farm in North Dakota. She anticipated the smells, the animals, the space and the sound of the gravel road as they drove up to the barns. It took her 45+ years to get her farm, and a good partner in crime, not to mention a horse. She hopes her stories on her blog will inspire others to hold onto their dreams of having a farm.

Never mind the turtle. Don't you think you're sure to win?
