Tryon Life Community Farm

Tryon Life Community (TLC) Farm is a non-profit organization, ecovillage, and urban farm. TLC Farm is a seven-acre land project and non-profit event center, surrounded by the beautiful forest of Tryon Creek State Park. Our public Village Green includes a large yurt, outdoor kitchen, tea house, bonfire area, natural earthen buildings, stage, and Portland's first public composting toilets. The majority of the land is open space, including gardens, orchards, chicken and goat areas, and fields. Houses on the land host independent residential collectives, Cedar Moon and the Sacred Lands Alliance.

TLC Farm brings people together to root into relationships with each other and the land, by sharing tools for community-based sustainability and social change, and tending resilient ecosystems. When you get involved with TLC Farm, you’re not simply a volunteer, but also a participant that is supporting a project, engaging with the land, and cultivating community.

We put many of our programs on pause during the pandemic and are currently recruiting volunteers and participants to help rebuild. The sky is the limit! Please reach out with any questions you may have.

Whether you are looking to just get your hands dirty and be a one-day volunteer or jump on one of our volunteer crews, there is a place for you here.
