What is CSA and where can I find them in central Oregon?
Community Supported Agriculture farms provide organically and locally produced foods to their subscribing members on a weekly basis during the growing season. Some CSA farms deliver their goods to members’ households, while others arrange for pick up or ask members to help with deliveries. Some benefits of participating in CSA farms are: receiving your produce the same day it was harvested, knowing where, how and by whom the food was produced, and supporting a sense of community sustainability. There are four active CSA’s in central Oregon as of April 2009. They include: Fields Farm: Contact Information: Jim and Debbie Fields, 541 382 8059. 61915 Pettigrew Road Bend, OR 97702 Certified Organic! http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M352 Wind Flower Farms: Contact Information: Gigi Meyer, 541 318 1417. 26285 Walker Road Bend, OR 97701 Products grown according to organic principles. http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M25231 Big Star Farm: Contact Information: Jim Lord and Jessi Wojdak, 541 31
