​About Us
Sweet Union Farm is a small, diversified vegetable farm just outside the city boundary in Klamath Falls, Oregon. We sustainably grow vegetables for our community on just a third of an acre. We are passionate about connecting people with their food and providing our CSA customers fresh, delicious, and interesting vegetables. 


Katie Swanson is the owner and operator of Sweet Union Farm and this little farm is a dream come true. She's from Boring, Oregon and has lived in Oregon all her life. A former high school teacher, she fell in love with farming seven years ago and hasn't looked back. She believes growing good food and making it accessible while taking care of the land is the best thing she can do for her community. She loves working in the dirt, thinks vegetables are very exciting and wants everyone to know! She also loves spending time with her husband, Dallas, her kitty Benjamin and her Mona pup.

​Dallas Swanson is the best partner a lady farmer could ask for! He has been a rock of support and encouragement through this wild ride of starting a farm. Most of his childhood was spent in a tiny town in Northeastern Oregon where he swam in rivers, picked rocks for pumpkin farmers, and fell in love with the outdoors. He recently graduated from the family medicine residency program and works as a family doctor at Cascades East where he gets to pursue his passion of building health in his community. He loves to cook (especially with vegetables from the farm), play basketball, and be outside - whether that be hiking, camping, or on the farm.

​Jennifer Livingstone has been a dedicated Sweet Union volunteer for the past three seasons! She is a California native and transplant to Southern Oregon who has put own roots here as she's fallen head over heels for our beautiful surroundings and close knit community. Jen enjoys long walks on the farm, weeding, harvesting, and washing bins. If she's not on the farm, you can find her at Treasures thrift store or volunteering with Klamath Hospice. When not working, Jennifer is hiking the endless trails, lakes and mountains of beautiful Southern Oregon. Her hard work, kindness and love for the outdoors is a continuous inspiration at the farm!

You can't talk about Sweet Union Farm without mentioning "the commune" - a group of friends fortunate enough to live on adjoining properties. We share livestock, tools, cars, eggs, honey, vegetables, labor, and a lot of delicious meals. There's always someone to help with farm projects, watch over things while we're away (a miracle!) or play volleyball with. We feel so lucky to have this incredibly unique and supportive community! 



​At Sweet Union Farm, Vegetables are Beautiful,
Land is Respected & Community is Strong.
