We’ve turned the corner…

There will be tomatoes this week.  Its a light first harvest, but they are loving this cooler week, just like the farmers.  What a breath of fresh air.  I can’t believe how mild things have been.  Must live each day like its the very best.

I am just totally in love with this place, this staff, my family, my sweetheart.  I’m definitely tickled to see each of you every week!  I really hope you know how special you are.  You, as members of a CSA, represent less than .01% of the Central Oregon population.  Your commitment is what allows this farm to exist.

Isabel read in The Preserve Journal, Issue 10, “Community is not unlike a living organism; feed it and it will flourish, neglect it and it will perish. It combines freedom with unity, creating bridges between people’s desire and their capacities, connecting needs and production, nature and humanity, hand work and soul healing.”

What truly sets a CSA apart, particularly here at Rainshadow, is the built in community it creates. Collecting and cooking with your CSA every week and being apart of this farmily is a major commitment to community. We applaud you and cherish you and take great pride in feeding you.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do better. 

Its a meat week!  Don’t forget to pick up if you’re a meat-only member.
