Caravan Farm

A busy week at Caravan -
Bed prepping, irrigation, and planting. Our busiest weekend at the farmers market, fun specials, extra bread baking for our friend and a super fun night serving sandwiches at .mp4 🪩

We love collaborating with our friends 🥲

One year of Caravan Farm & Kitchen 💃🏼🪩🕺🏻

So much planning — and then breaking the plans. So much building, brainstorming, creating, cooking, serving, lifting heavy things, learning, failing, succeeding, growing and failing again. Blood, sweat, tears, raking, digging, measuring, folding tarps, remeasuring… and so much freaking raking. So much patience I could scream. Broken hands, sprained elbows, sore backs, and countless moments of realizing we had no idea what we were doing, but doing it anyway.

This year we catered 14 events, hosted our first pop-up dinner that sold out, sold and donated produce that we grew ourselves. We started a hot food booth at the Newport Farmers Market that’s been selling out almost every weekend. Oh, and we turned an old pasture into a farm. We created jobs for ourselves. We get to feed people, make genuine connections, and build something that feels meaningful.

We moved to a new city to start this business, knowing nobody, and somewhere along the way, we built a community here in Newport.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this little business run by two very sleepy farmer-chefs. What we’re building feels exciting and terrifying. It feels like we’re exactly where we’re meant to be.

3 events in 3 days
Managing acidic soils field day with OSU extension, a private chef dinner for a special 40th birthday celebration (too busy to document that one), and another sold out farmers market!
Feeling sleepy and grateful ❤️

Hi, we’re Kate and Daniel 👋
We’re the chefs, bartenders, caterers, and farmers behind Caravan Farm & Kitchen.

We both grew up in Oregon and spent the last six years traveling full time in our self-converted school bus. Along the way, our travels led us to farming in mid-coast Maine, where we fell in love with growing food and working close to the land.

After running a brunch spot in PDX, we moved to Newport in May 2025 to start building something of our own.

We’re building this farm from the ground up and are excited to share it as it grows. We hope to cater your events, pop up around Oregon, set up a food booth at the Newport farmers market, and host dinners on the farm using ingredients we grow ourselves and source from local farmers we love.

Thanks for being here. Caravan has big plans for 2026 🌱
