Welcome to Sunbow Farm!
Harry MacCormack started farming at Sunbow Farm in 1972. He has always grown a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and grains. To market his produce he co-founded the Corvallis Saturday Market and the Peoples Wednesday Market in Portland. For two decades he marketed in Newport and sat on that market's board. Now he is farming full time all year round to provide produce for Corvallis by sending the Certified Organic produce list out on a weekly email list. Farm direct is cheaper and is fresh produce.

Harry is currently Director of The Institute of BioWisdom which provides farming/gardening workshops, and was a founding board member of Ten Rivers Food Web, a three county local food systems organizing effort. He is credited as starting the Southern Willamette Valley Bean and Grain Project. He is a Partner in Willamette Seed and Grain which is a coalition of Farmers that Grows in our Valley for our Valley. At 69 he continues to farm, consult, write, teach and speak in all kinds of venues. In 2009 he published the 4th edition of The Transition Document : Toward A Biologically Resilient Agriculture. In 2011 Cosmic Influences On Agricultural Processes was published. He has published hundreds of articles on agricultural topics, 5 books of poetry, and has authored 6 stage plays and two movie scripts. In retirement after serving 31 years as an instructor at OSU.
