Mary's Green Gate Farm

Mary's Green Gate Farm I have lived on GREEN GATE FARM for 33 years. I do not spray Herbicides or Pesticides. I also put up Bat boxes, bird boxes and wood duck boxes.

I use composted cow, chicken and horse manure to fertilize our vegetable crops, berries, orchard fruit and pastures. I encourage beneficial insects with bee houses and the planting of flowers in my garden to attract them. I provide housing for skunk families because of the benefit they provide the farm. (I have never been “sprayed” and have walked by them out foraging for food all the time) Our Ba

rns have Barn Owl nest boxes and we see babies every year. A Barn owls diet is 98% rodent which eliminates any need to use poisons around our hay storage. We have perches for various hawks which help to keep the vole and field rodent populations in check. They are all beneficial and they make my hard work a pleasure just to have them share the farm with me.

I have had to keep my stand door closed on and off the last two weeks due to Farming. I open the door when the wind is not blowing dust into the stand from field plowing in my area. We have also been doing some important repairs on our cow feeding area that is almost finished.
If you arrive between 8 AM - 8 PM and the door is closed , if possible please call . MARY 541-740-0311
We have apple wind falls for drying and applesauce. I have been keeping the plums , pears , cucumbers, eggplant, and others in the refrigerator due to the heat, causing them to get soft prematurely . Tomatoes have started to ripen and I will post as soon as I have enough for boxes for sauce making. We have beautiful rhubarb, small amounts of snow peas that are holding on, egg plant, several varieties of cucumbers , including lemon cucumbers, peppers and other items will be slowly coming on. Thank you for stopping by.

The first crop of Figs has been picked, but there will be more in about three weeks. We still have plenty of Plums and the Grabvenstein Apples are falling so now is the time to buy Winfall Gravenstein’s to make applesauce . most of them are in such great condition they will make great pie.. We have several types of cucumbers, and they have all come on strong, including the lemon cucumbers. We have started to pick Bartlett pears, which most of you know they are picked green when they pop off the stem and they will be ripening over the next week.
There are still plenty of you pick blackberries . No charge for anyone who wants to go along the field fence and pick some. No road dust no herbicides because we are 100% organic..

The Garden and the Orchard were off to a slow start but they are both making up for lost time. We have plums, currents, raspberries, peas, onions, zucchini, rhubarb, cucumbers,
frozen apple cider and of course as always eggs. U-pick raspberries are still not available however we do have a safe area for u-pick blackberries at no cost. Everything is Organic and are adding items daily.

The stand is open . The highs and lows of the weather has been different this year. I’m working on keeping my organic garden going. Tomatoes and peppers have started to set fruit. The fruit trees are loaded and I will post as they become available .
At the stand we have eggs, plenty of red and green fresh rhubarb. Fresh onions with green tops . We also have frozen organic apple cider that was pressed last fall.

If we are out of rhubarb when you arrive at the stand please call and I will pick some fresh for you.

I own a working Organic Farm. Many of you have shopped here. I spend a lot of time maintaining the habitat on my farm that encourages wildlife to live here. There are no traps or poisons to harm them. There’s no income generated from my wildlife work, but I admit knowing that 101 diferent birds have been seen on my property by Audubon members makes me happy.
The farm needs more wildlife shelters.
If you are willing to volunteer your time and have the ability to build bird, hawk, screech owl, wood duck , Oregon silver gray squirrel or bat boxes ( all simple plans ) I will put together the materials you need.
Many of the wildlife that live here are are on Oregons Threatened species list and need our help.
If you are a bird watcher and want to help maintain a walking path so you and others can walk and listen to the birds living here, let me know. 
My farm has a slough /pond with invasive water plants endangering the home of the western pond turtles that live here.
If you have something you would like to do to help this habitat send me a text . Mary Eichler 541-740-0311
Thank You

New Episode of For the Love of Farming! https://beav.es/fPZ

Some lives reveal how extraordinary they are, the moment you start listening. Mary Eichler of Green Gate Farm in Corvallis has lived one of those lives. Her story sounds like a legend or a movie script, not because it’s embellished, but because it is rooted in courage and a rare clarity of purpose.

Mary turned eighty years old the day we recorded this. Mary’s life shows how much one person can change the world around them, and far beyond. As she says, “there’s always a better way… you just have to be willing.” Like the time she and her husband, simply helping a neighbor and trusting what they saw, unwittingly set in motion an international agricultural trade and industry - turning a waste product into a global export, improving environmental outcomes, and helping change Oregon law (more than once). Her story preserves a piece of Oregon history that isn’t captured elsewhere.

This episode honors a woman who has spent her life solving problems others accepted as inevitable, caring for animals others passed by, and spreading seeds of impact everywhere she stepped. I am grateful for everything about Mary.
This episode was recorded in March of 2026

Spring has sprung!
The chickens are liking the spring weather and have increased their production and we have eggs.
We also have swiss chard, kale and rubarb as well as beautiful flowers.

I am not sure everyone is aware that I maintain my farm as a wildlife oasis. Trees are planted in hedge rows to provide food , no pesticide or herbicides are ever used to contaminate the food source by the skunks squirrels and bobcats. In 2025 the our bird species count hit 100 for the first time all verified by Audubon Society members doing the Bird count. I have owl boxes in every barn , gray squirrel nest boxes , bat boxes, and multiple bird boxes. I would like to put up more boxes, especially for the gray squirrels because their habitat is greatly compromised by non-native species.. the cost of keeping up the boxes and buying new boxes is actually a problem for me. If there’s anyone out there who’s handy and would like to volunteer making some wood boxes for the wildlife . I would be glad to pay for the wood involved..
Also, if there’s an avid bird watcher, who would enjoy taking a stroll along my slough to see the birds that live here please contact me. I would be glad to share what I have created with others..
