Waldron Farms

59349 Oil Dri Rd, Christmas Valley, OR 97641

This Eastern Oregon farm is located North of the community of Christmas Valley in the high deserts of southeastern Oregon.  Waldron Farm is a high producing alfalfa operation that is supplied by a large irrigation well, variable frequency drive, & a variety of outbuildings.

Waldron Farm has sandy loam soils in an area that is well known for highly tested dairy feed.  The irrigation well is exceptional with the ability of running both Valley pivots complemented by the variable frequency drive to control gallonage from the turbine pump.  The pivots include end guns & inline fertilizer to optimize production.  Alfalfa stands are in their second year & the owner has produced 6+ tons under the newer stands.

Improvements consist of two homes, a shop, a greenhouse & a machine shed that could be utilized as hay storage.  One home is a 1972 single wide manufactured home that is currently not livable while the other is utilized, a two story 1 bed 2 bath home where the current owners reside.  The shop is smaller quarters with high ceilings consisting of 640 sq ft with an attached 798 sq ft greenhouse.  A machine shed is a pole barn structure with sheet siding & 7 bays that is currently used for both machine storage as well as hay storage.

The area is well known for its recreational & geological attractions.  Christmas Valley, Fort Rock, Silver Lake are nearby communities that provide opportunities to pick up groceries, food, farming supplies, & more.  The lost forest is a unique blend of ponderosa pine trees in the high deserts of eastern Oregon with sand dunes located nearby providing opportunities for ATV riding.  Hunting consists of antelope, mule deer, & elk.  The alfalfa fields provide great feed & hunting opportunities as the acreage draws 2 LOP tags.

Waldron Farm is an excellent agricultural setup with its high fluctuation in temperature, sandy loam soils, & great water sources.  Improvements are minimal but fit the operation fantastically.
