Big Table Farm is the collaborative effort of Brian Marcy andClare Carver.
We are a winemaker and an artist, we grow and produce what we love to eat and drink.
As many of you know we, Clare Carver and Brian Marcy, have moved to Oregon from Napa and bought some property in the Willamette Valley (about an hour outside of Portland) on which we plan to plant a vineyard. This Oregon adventure is inspired by our desire to grow grapes, make wine, and to have the space for all of Clare’s animals and Brian’s wacky projects. The process of planting vines is a long and expensive one, so in the meantime we have purchased grapes and made wine in 2006 and more again in 2007. The subsequent wine is finally in bottle and drinking extremely well.
We named our Farm after our desire to provide a gracious and welcoming table for ourselves and friends, with a cornucopia of hand-crafted food and wine. Ambitious as it is, we are establishing a working farm, where we raise pasture poultry, pigs, cows, and egg-laying chickens. We also keep a large garden. We are working towards a managed intensive grazing system of farming that builds our soil, sequesters carbon, and moves us towards a healthy, sustainable and diverse farm.
Harvest 2008 - It has been a great harvest with beautiful fruit we are excited about the '08 wines!
