Luscher Farm

Built around the turn of the twentieth century, the Luscher Farm is the most intact historic farm in Clackamas County. It includes a farmhouse in the Queen Anne style, a gambrel-roof barn, a chicken coop, a garage/bunk house, and several smaller outbuildings on a 47.71-acre site. The farm's primary historic use was for dairy farming and cattle breeding. In cooperation with the City of Lake Oswego, Oregon Tilth's Organic Education Center Program operates a demonstration garden at historic Luscher Farm. The program seeks to strengthen the health of families, communities, and the environment by providing experiential learning opportunities in biologically sound urban agriculture. Year round offerings include hands-on classes and trainings on organic gardening, garden tours and volunteer opportunities. These programs educate community members about the sources of their food and the ease and abundance of organic gardening. In collaboration with local business, farmers, students and government, the Organic Education Center serves as a regional resource hub for sustainable food growing.
