The Significance of Supporting Local Businesses

A recent study conducted in Central Oregon found that when a dollar was spent on a local food item, $0.76 remains in our local economy. Comparatively, each dollar spent on food from outside the region resulted in only $0.28 remaining in the local economy. Keeping these dollars in the local economy fuels jobs and profit, but it also helps to make our community more resilient to external economic forces.

Local business thrives in Central Oregon. Rainshadow Organics provides an opportunity to support local business through our CSA program. When our local economy thrives, we can put more love back into our lives, our landscape, and our home.

We at Rainshadow urge you to continue to commit yourselves to our farm. We truly believe that when you become a member of our CSA program, your promise to us will benefit our farm, our local economy, and your wellness. This becomes a win-win-win for our community, fueling our ability to experience economic growth and allowing Central Oregon to thrive.

We hope that you will choose to join our 2021 Summer CSA and support our local economy!
