McFarlane's Bark Inc., founded in 1932 in Portland, Oregon, has established itself as a premier garden center dedicated to serving gardening enthusiasts and landscaping professionals alike.

Over the years, McFarlane's has adapted to meet the changing needs of its customers and the community, which is evident in its diverse product offerings.
With locations in Milwaukie, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington, McFarlane's is more than just a retailer—it also operates an on-site recycling center. Here, they accept various green yard waste materials, such as branches, leaves, and grass, promoting sustainability through yard debris recycling. The company's commitment to environmental stewardship is further highlighted by its efforts in composting, where they have pioneered processes since the 1960s, making them one of Portland's first commercial yard debris composters.
McFarlane’s product lineup includes an extensive selection of barks, compost products, and soil blends, all tailored to meet the needs of avid gardeners and professional landscapers. The business exemplifies a strong family legacy, with four generations of the McFarlane family actively involved in its operations.
