Oregon Grit: Nusbaum Farms, Ryegrass Roots, and the Fire that Nearly Stopped It All
On a diversified farm nestled in the heart of rural America, Orin Nusbaum is doing more than growing food — he’s cultivating community, creativity, and connection. As a father, band member, and rising content creator, Orin gives us an authentic glimpse into the beautifully chaotic life of a modern-day farmer balancing tradition with innovation.
From oats and produce to podcasts and parenting, this episode of the Farm4Profit podcast dives deep into what makes Nusbaum Farms truly unique.
A New Chapter in Farming: Diversification and Resilience
Orin's operation is nothing short of dynamic. Over time, his farm has evolved to meet the needs of his family, community, and market. One of the most exciting recent additions? Planting 10 acres of oats in fall 2022 — a first for the farm and a reflection of Orin’s willingness to experiment and adapt.
But farming isn’t always smooth sailing. This past season brought an unexpected combine fire, a harsh reminder of the unpredictability farmers face every day. Yet, through it all, Orin continues to persevere — thanks in large part to the unwavering support of his family.
Faith, Family, and Farming: The Heart of Nusbaum Farms
Celebrating 20 years of marriage, Orin and his wife have built a life rooted in faith, family, and farming. Their teamwork during harvest and hay season is more than impressive — it’s a testament to the strength of their bond and the values that drive their daily lives.
From their kids helping with harvest to answering phone calls on-the-go and even their dog tagging along on road trips, this is a family affair in every sense of the word.
From Farm Rows to Online Followers: Building Community on Social Media
In addition to being a devoted father and full-time farmer, Orin has embraced his role as a content creator. Through social media, he connects with others who share his passion for agriculture, hard work, and honest storytelling. Whether he's sharing planting tips, family moments, or behind-the-scenes footage of farm life, Orin’s presence online is as authentic as it is inspiring.
