Our Family Farm
Little Fig Farm · Scappoose, Oregon
A small farm with a big collection of figs
Little Fig Farm is a family-owned orchard located in Scappoose, Oregon — a quiet town in Columbia County along the Columbia River, roughly 20 miles northwest of Portland. We are a working family farm focused on growing high-quality figs suited to the Pacific Northwest climate.
Our main crop is a carefully curated collection of 48 fig varieties. We emphasize cold-hardy and early-ripening cultivars that reliably produce in western Oregon’s mild winters and cooler summers, while also maintaining classic Mediterranean and Southern varieties in our warmer microclimates.
Everything we grow is tended by the family. We believe good fruit starts with healthy soil, thoughtful pruning, and picking at the right moment — not the most convenient one.

Our growing philosophy
Figs are surprisingly at home in western Oregon when the right varieties are chosen. We prioritize:
- Hardiness & reliability — trees that recover from occasional cold snaps and still set fruit.
- Flavor first — we keep varieties that taste excellent when fully ripe, not just the ones that look good on a label.
- Diversity — 48 varieties means something is usually ripening across the season, and customers can discover new favorites.
- Straightforward sales — order online, pay the way that works for you (Venmo, PayPal, or cash), and enjoy fruit that was still on the tree a day or two earlier.
