LADYBUG Farm Spotlight on...
Montecucco Farms
• Principles: Brothers, Ed & Paul; cousin
Steve Montecucco & Ed’s sons, Brian & Jason
• Farm name: Montecucco Farms, LLC
• Location: Canby, Oregon
• Size: 14 acres certified organic since 2007
• Crop: Rhubarb, Red Beets, Gold Beets & Parsnips
Montecucco Farms is known for their beautiful and delicious rhubarb; growing five different varieties, with a keen eye toward quality. Set beside the Willamette River, north of Canby, Oregon, Montecucco Farms has been family owned and operated since1903. They ventured into organic farming in 2007, starting with rhubarb, and have expanded their organic production to include beets and parsnips. The Montecucco family takes farming very seriously, focusing on growing a select number of crops, at the highest quality, as opposed to trying to grow a bit of everything.
One of the ways they do this is by growing crops that are particularly suited to the Willamette Valley. “We don’t try to trick Mother Nature and grow crops that are not suited for this region”. In the traditional spirit of family farming, giving back to their community is also important to the Montecucco family. They donate large amounts of produce to The Oregon Food Bank and the Clackamas County Gleaners. Montecucco Farms got the “Hunger Buster” of the year award from the Oregon Food Bank for 2009.

By using recycled water from ponds on their property, Montecucco Farms has reduced their fresh water consumption in their packing shed and for irrigation by 90%. In a growing region where water can be scarce, this is an important move toward sustainability.
