    A bit about the land

    The Yamane-Bose Food Forest is a 2-acre property located in the Linwood neighborhood of Milwaukie, Oregon. This site features mature chestnut, asian pear, persimmon, apple trees and more. The property also contains 2 rental houses that OSALT owns and manages. We’re looking forward to continuing to develop this space to offer more opportunities to grow food and host community events!
