Rogue Farmers is an independent grow-supply shop in Oregon’s Applegate Valley. Founded in 2009, we’ve sold soil, nutrients, and wear to small growers across the Pacific Northwest for fifteen years. We are not scaling. We are not raising. We are slowly liquidating, on purpose, because the catalog got too big.
