About The Kitchen at Middleground Farms

Middleground Farms is a 17-acre farm located on a family hobby farm 20 minutes south of Portland, in Wilsonville, Oregon.  It features a kitchen-classroom environment where food enthusiasts can learn cooking skills, gather in community, and dine with enthusiasm. 

The Kitchen at Middleground resides in a refashioned cattle barn, equipped with a modern kitchen and state-of-the-art appliances. A vegetable garden provides stock for the kitchen, as does the family’s 25 laying hens and small herd of Nubian dairy goats. Neighboring farms and local artisan producers provide much of the rest.

Our cooking classes explore fundamental skills in the kitchen and garden, as well as the lost arts of handcrafting and preserving. Not a cook? Join us for our seasonal events, happy hours, and winemaker's dinners.

We believe local, seasonal, humanely and sustainably grown foods are the most delicious and healthful, but we can’t be perfect all the time. You’ll see us at Costco, too. And you won’t find a hybrid tractor here. There is no elitism in our personal farm-to-table movement. Everyone has to find his or her own middle ground. That is how we came to the name Middleground Farms.
