Through our summer 2019 farm season, a small group of Rainshadow farmers, volunteers, and CSA members met at Jackson’s Corner each month for a book driven discussion and dinner. Our discussions were enlightening, inspirational, and personal. We are excited to spread the word about our little Rainshadow book club, and involve more of the
Over the summer months, some of the Rainshadow Crew has teamed up with some of our CSA members for a monthly book club meeting at Jackson’s Corner.

It froze overnight. That means it’s the end of most summer veggies for us CSA folk. It’s both good and bad. I mean, I all but cry at the end of tomato and zucchini season (I am probably the only one that literally never gets tired of the truckloads of zucchini that Rainshadow
To make this marinade, I used a Nutribullet, which does a great job of mixing, but does require preparing in batches, as it does not all fit at once. Situations like these, along with deep sighs, help my partner understand that we NEED a Vitamix, and the billion dollars they cost isn’t

If I go to one more summer party and see another veggie tray with raw carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, and unripe cherry tomato alongside flavorless ranch dressing, I’ll just die. And you don’t want to be the person who everyone rolls their eyes at when you walk in with just exactly that tray, right?!
Farm raised, farm made hemp products. Rainshadow Organics is unveiling our new hemp product business, Desert Green Hemp. Our new products are now accessible to the central Oregon community and beyond. This fall we are entering our second hemp harvest on the farm. We started four acres of hemp from
Did you know that probiotics (you’ve probably heard of some of the lactobacillus and bifidobacterium strains) are highly interconnected with not only your physical health, but also your mental and emotional health? The colon houses these, and therefore, it is your best friend! We’ve gotta keep it happy! We are learning that these species
I really miss Korea…. It is topographically freaking gorgeous and has far more culture collected over millennia than we could ever hope to catch up to here in our little baby country. When you have a (food) culture that has developed for this long … you know, before refrigeration (yes, there was a
