Springbank Farm is a Blueberry/Asparagus/Blueberry Wine operation owned and operated by Brian and Michelle O'Driscoll. We are eternally grateful to Brian's parents, Paul and Phyllis O'Driscoll for having the vision in the late '60's to abandon the suburban cul-de-sac for the great agrarian adventure.
Now that we have three children, we are focused on farm education and finding ways to engage future generations in farming. In the summer, we employ youth to assist us with various aspects of harvesting, preparing, and marketing our fruit.
We consider ourselves stewards of this 320-acre farm with prime river-bottom soil, hillside forest, and South Santiam River frontage. In cooperation with Lebanon Community School District, we relocated the historic one-room Reed Schoolhouse onto our farm for restoration. The schoolhouse is now situated near the 1912 timberframe barn that inspired our farm logo. We now also offer our blueberry wine produced with our transitional berries.

Transitional. Our goal is to create all our own soil fertility through our own closed system. We now brew our own compost tea onsite! Drip irrigation from South Santiam River, which we test for bacteria multiple times a year and which is one of the cleanest rivers in the Valley. Create habitats to foster bees and other beneficial insect and animal life. Especially proud of our relationships with local hospitals and schools in order to serve all socio-economic groups and provide meaningful farm projects and fair wages for those we employ.
