Looking ahead to 2025,
we are committed to
continuing our growth and
providing unwavering support to veterans
Our Agricultural Programs
Hydroponic Greenhouse
Operational since 2017, our hydroponics greenhouse was developed in partnership with the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Our greenhouse produces lettuce crops, which we sell year-round directly to local restaurants and retailers like: Newport Ave. Market, Oliver Lemon’s, and Pisanos Woodfired Pizza.
We’ll be offering our greens direct Central Oregon residents in 2025!
Interested in COVR supplying greens to your to your restaurant or retail space? Reach our Greenhouse Manager, Orion Carriger.
Livestock
Our primary livestock maintained on the ranch year-round are free range, egg-laying hens.
Our eggs are available by the dozen and are sold direct to customers on our ranch.
In 2025 we are looking to expand our meat production into spring cattle and poultry - stay tuned for more!
Beekeeping
Led by one of our veteran volunteers, and master beekeeper, this growing program now includes 3 hives.
Our beekeeping program is supported our growing pollinator garden and native plants throughout the ranch.
Interested in COVR supplying honey to your restaurant or retail space? Looking for hive management for your farm or ranch? Reach our Ranch Foreman, Weston Smith.
Victory Gardens
This community garden space is free for veterans and their families, as we work to provide increased access to food in Central Oregon.
The ranch provides seeds and seed-starts to participants including a variety of herbs, greens, and vegetables.
Veterans are welcome to tend to their gardens Monday-Friday, and families are invited to join on Saturdays.
Planting begins in June and the harvest takes place in September.
Our Peer Support Programs
Weekly Peer Support Group
Our Peer Support program is designed to provide veterans with a safe, understanding, and compassionate community where they can connect with others who have shared similar experiences. The intent is to offer a welcoming environment for veterans to share their stories, find support, and build trust.
Meeting every Wednesday, this group offers structured discussions, shared activities, and opportunities to connect on the ranch. Activities range from therapeutic group sessions and outdoor projects to simply enjoying a cup of coffee together in a space where veterans feel welcome. Each session is facilitated by trained staff and supported by peers who understand the unique journey of each participant.
Curious about peer support and why it is impactful? Not sure if this is a fit for you? Reach out to our Peer Support Specialist, Cody Lane.
Community Events & Activities
In addition to our vast agricultural programs, we host several events and activities at the ranch throughout the year that are crucial to executing on our mission and vision.
On Wednesday’s we hold our Peer Support Groups on the ranch.
Each week we welcome the larger veteran community to join us for our Volunteer Day & Luncheon on Thursdays.
Saturday’s we welcome the families, friends, and support networks of veterans to the ranch. This is a great way for new veterans to explore our ranch and for their community to see the impact we offer.
Annually we invite the entirety of Central Oregon to gather at our ranch for our fundraising Plant Sale. This event is our largest fundraiser for the year and showcases the full offerings of our ranch.
