Events

Side Yard has some big changes this upcoming season. We are partnering with our friends at Tournant during 2026 as I focus on a new Side Yard Farm & Kitchen location down in Southern Oregon. Tournant is an open-fire cooking company, known for creating immersive, elemental dining experiences that celebrate the seasons, the landscape, and togetherness. Side Yard crew will still host our plant sales, Bike in Movie Nights, Lost Table Grief Groups, yoga on the farm and limited catering. During Tournant’s chef residency, they will be hosting monthly farm brunches, dinners and private catering!

Seed to Plate Cooking Classes

​​Workshops by Chef/Farmer Stacey Givens of The Side Yard:

Learn all about whole plant cooking using every part of the plant from the seeds, buds, stems and leaves. Classes focus on different topics including: Quickles (quick pickles). Harvesting & Preserving. Farm Brunch. Bread Baking. Sauces & Dressings and more. All classes end with a large farmy meal and drinks on the farm.

Accessibility Statement

We are committed to creating an inclusive & accessible event space. If you need accommodation or would like to discuss your needs, please contact thesideyardpdx@gmail.com. Our farm is wheelchair accessible with a separate gate entrance located close to the event area, we also have an ADA restroom available.

Side Yard Farm Collaborative BIPOC & Queer Market

We started these farmers markets because our community was in crisis. Covid just broke out and small businesses were suffering. The market’s intention is to create an inclusive space, create a community with makers of all kinds, and to provide an economic opportunity to communities who are too often marginalized.

The Lost Table – Grief Suppers

The Side Yard Farm & Kitchen invites you to join The Lost Table. A table that is resilient, strong and safe for those who have experienced a significant loss- partner, parent, sibling or friend. We’ve decided to take our farm grief group and turn it into a dinner party. Take a seat, bring a dish and feel free to talk about your loss in good company. How do you deal with your grief when you are struggling to understand it? Join our table.

Farm Brunches 

​​Come dine in on the farm and enjoy an all you can eat monthly Seed to Plate brunch. The entire meal is planned around what is growing on the farm.
