Farewell Winter! 

I know we’ve been talking about Spring the last couple months, but now the veg is coming to fruition to prove it.  Radishes and salad turnips!  Pea shoots!  Herbs!  Bok Choi!  To name a few…  There will NOT be Siberian Kale this time.  RIP, it is my very favorite veg.  The last couple greenhouse beds of the kale got cleared to the pigs today, but they got flipped into sweet peppers, hot peppers, eggplants, and basil.  So, come on Summer.  I see you.

Rainshadow is such a crazy farm, growing and delivering food year round.  This time of year is a little awkward talking about summer and hoping y’all stick with us for the next five months AND look ahead to winter.  What can I say, that’s just how it is here.  It’s the way we think, eat, crop plan, and roll it all out.

We’re doing our earlybird winter sale next week!!!!  Get your spot now with a 20% discount code and you’ll be stoked for that first big load in November.

Whoa, summer is upon us. The Bend Farmers Market starts next week on May 13th. Come see us! We’ll have tons of pickles, ferments, meats, and grains, albeit meager greens and herbs.

The Summer CSA will start on June 3rd. Crops are looking gooooood! We would LOVE to have you join us. Feeding you is our pleasure and passion.

Did you catch that you can get HOME DELIVERY?!? In Bend, Sisters, Sunriver, or Redmond

We are also going to be at the NWX farmers market and you can pick up your CSA there if Saturdays are better for ya.

A bit of inspiration

Spring radishes and turnips have the tastiest tops!  Use those tender roots, but be sure to braise the tops or toss them in a salad.  It’s time to let go of the hearty winter meals and get light and fresh.  The CSA this month definitely invites you to do so.
