Big Table Farm

Big Table Farm is the collaborative effort of Brian Marcy and Clare Carver.  We are a winemaker and an artist, we grow and produce what we love to eat and drink. We  moved to Oregon from Napa and bought property in the Willamette Valley (about an hour outside of Portland) on which we plan to plant a vineyard. This Oregon adventure is inspired by our desire to grow grapes, make wine, and to have the space for all of Clare’s animals and Brian’s wacky projects.   The process of planting vines is a long and expensive one, so in the meantime we have purchased grapes and made wine starting in 2006. We named our Farm and winery after our desire to provide a gracious and welcoming table for ourselves and friends, with a cornucopia of hand-crafted food and wine. Ambitious as it is, we have launched a winery and are establishing a working farm, where we raise pasture poultry, pigs, cows, and egg-laying chickens. We also keep a large garden. We are working towards a managed intensive grazing system of farming that builds our soil, sequesters carbon, and moves us towards a healthy, sustainable and diverse farm.
