About Morgan:

Morgan stumbled into farming after college, having grown up as a city kid in the Midwest. Drawn by a desire to explore, she took steps to find the next path, one rooted in food, culture, and alternate ways of living. Her first experiences in farming came on homesteads in rural Japan, where she encountered diverse food systems, and saw how farming is woven into the fabric of daily life.

Those early lessons set the foundation for her approach to food that eventually brought her to Oregon, where she continued pursuing agriculture with curiosity and conviction. At Goodfoot Farm, she immersed herself in a woman-led production system, and embraced the principles of biodynamics, a holistic approach that sees the farm as a living, interconnected ecosystem. There, she deepened her understanding of growing food while witnessing how the food we grow shapes the communities we nourish.

What began as a search for meaningful work became the ultimate goal, to produce and share food that connects us deeply. Over time, that path led her from learner to leader, and ultimately to purchasing the family farm she now stewards with her family. Today, as the farmher in the foreground, she carries forward both legacy and possibility, growing food with care, honoring the land’s history, and building a future rooted in resilience, gratitude, and connection.

About Tricia:

Tricia’s farm began with one little buckling named Mason, who stole her heart and quickly became part of the family. As Mason grew, she added more goats, three Great Pyrenees, chickens, and the occasional cow.

Along the way, she learned how to make goat milk soap. Her family and friends immediately felt the difference and urged her to turn her passion into profit. Tricia now pursues the dream of healing the world’s skin…one bar of soap at a time.
