Beef Done Right and Local

Rogue Local Grass Fed and Finished Beef

Dauenhauer Cattle, LLC. was founded in 2014. However, the Dauenhauer name has been running cattle locally for over 40 years. Most of those 40 years have been right here in the Rouge Valley, on the outskirts of Ashland. In 2009 Zack Dauenhauer, the grandson of the late and great JG Dauenhauer, decided he wanted to keep the family legacy alive and continued buying black angus cattle as his grandfather did. 5 years later, with the partnership of his parents, the family brand was brought back into business.

With the involvement of pasture management classes, Dauenhauer decided to emphasize rotational grazing in their ranching. Over the last few years Dauenhauer Cattle, LLC. has been striving to produce the best grass fed and finished beef product in the Rogue Valley. As a “true” grass fed and finished producer, their animals intake nothing but forage from birth to butcher, no growth hormones and no antibiotics. Only the best grass on God’s green earth.

At Rogue Produce we’ve had the chance to sample the full variety of cuts of Dauenhauer beef. We’ve found that even the top sirloin is extremely tender even when well-done. It doesn’t matter what cut you purchase, you’ll find unbeatable texture and flavor in this incredible local product. We currently have steaks of ribeye, tenderloin, New York, top sirloin, skirt, and flatiron; as well as tri-tip roasts, brisket, and ground beef. Get some of this fine beef while it lasts by placing an order now. Order by Sunday at 7 pm for a home delivery on Friday, October 23.

Raw Milk Resources

Nutrition Contributor

We have a new contributor to Rogue Produce! Yvette Bedrossian is a registered nurse and licensed acupuncturist at Community Acupuncture and Natural Health, in Ashland. In this post we share Yvette’s recommendation for raw milk and it’s nutritional benefits. We also provide you with contact information for White Oak Ranch, in Eagle Point, where you can sign-up to be a part of their raw milk program here in the Rogue Valley!

Health Benefits and Preparation Tips

Over the years I have seen so many patients whose bodies cannot tolerate conventional dairy. Over half of those patients however thrive when they try milk, yogurt, cheese, etc, that has *not* been homogenized or pasteurized. Processed milk, no matter how organic, no longer contains the live enzymes that our bodies need in order to digest its nutrients. This is why I have been ordering my dairy products from trusted raw milk farmers for the past 12 years. My favorite thing about it is that it does not putrefy! In fact, the taste becomes even sweeter after sitting out a little while (tastes like liquid ice cream to me) before it eventually starts to clobber into Kurds and whey. At that point I like to separate the solid and liquid components and make a nice cream cheese with the former, and a fermented salsa with the later. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, cow milk is considered to have slightly cooling qualities. It moistens dryness and is considered a tonic for the heart, lung, spleen and stomach. When I have patients who are concerned about raw dairy contributing to any kind of dampness or phlegm in their system, I recommend that they add a drying herb such as cinnamon to their milk or yogurt to balance out this effect.

White Oak Ranch Logo SignWhere to Get Raw Milk

Rogue Produce has been providing home delivery of the incredible pork and beef products from White Oak for several years. However, we are not allowed to deliver their raw milk – it is only available from Devon at White Oak Ranch, directly. She has several drop sites where you can pick up raw milk on a weekly basis. For more information, email Devon at sales@whiteoakranch.com.

Proud to be Rogue!

Are you passionate about any of the following?

  • Supporting local farms and small businesses
  • Enjoying the freshest and most delicious food products available
  • Saving time and money with home grocery delivery
  • Reducing waste in your local landfill
  • Keeping the dollars you spend local
  • Helping those in need within your community receive nutritious, fresh, and locally grown produce

If any of these are important to you, take a minute to read on and see how Rogue Produce assists you in meeting these objectives in the most convenient and enjoyable ways imaginable!

Supporting Local Farms and Small Businesses

It may just blow your mind when you see the huge list of local farmers and producers we work with. Our emphasis lies always on supporting the inner-circle of vendors in the immediate vicinity of Jackson and Josephine Counties; but we do branch out by purchasing from farms throughout Oregon and the Northwest, and by procuring items that can’t be sourced locally through a reputable distributor, Organically Grown Company.

Home Delivery

We’ve been mastering the logistics of home delivery since we began our enterprise in 2013. We currently deliver to your door every Friday in Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford, Jacksonville, Eagle Point, and White City – as well as some locations in Rogue River and Grants Pass.

Reducing Waste in the Local Landfill

Our Community Compost service not only diverts waste from the landfill, it’s also hugely beneficial to local farms. Instead of having your food scraps sent to the dump, we pick them up and donate them to local farms to be composted and returned to the local soil as a valuable supplement for growing a portion of the produce you purchase through our Online Farmers Market! When you read about how are compost program works and the customer coupon book component your mind will be blown again – it’s all about supporting local and smart resource management!

Giving Local

One of our most recent developments at Rogue Produce is a program that gives you the means of supporting those in need within our community with the purchase of fresh organic produce – with an emphasis on produce grown on the fields of our local farms. Rogue Produce has partnered with the Rogue Valley Food System Network to turn donations into boxes of fresh local food, delivered through the Maslow Project (be sure to select “Rogue Produce Box” so your donations go where you want them).

You can also donate bundles of fresh produce for those preparing dishes for the Ashland Community Peace Meal. When you donate, you help those in our community and support local farms in the process!

These two donation opportunities are a reflection of some good that has come of recent events: in late March of this year several passionate Rogue Produce customers recognized the importance of delivering fresh local produce to individuals and families in need; and these customers stepped up to provide assistance at every level to create these collaborative programs – thank you to everyone who continues to be actively involved in this process!

Sign-Up with Rogue

The fun begins when you register for an account. That gets you subscribed to our mailing list so you receive a weekly notification informing you that we’re ready to take orders for our next Friday delivery. After you register you can sign-up as a member to remove the $12 delivery fee that is usually included with every order. Membership is only $9.99 a month, or $99 for a year!

Farmers Market To Your Door

Rogue Produce Delivers

We bring the Farmers Market to your door every Friday with home delivery of fresh local produce, meats, cheeses, and a huge variety of amazing local products (even a one-of-a-kind locally manufactured cribbage board). This week we’re happy to announce that we’ve restocked with the amazing olive oil and vinegar from Pasture 42! Order now for a home delivery this Friday, May 15. If you’re a new customer, create an account and then place your order by 5 pm tonight.

What’s Hot

Actually, the first product from our Farmers Market I’d like to mention comes frozen: the incredible Wake-N-Bagel from Little Shop of Bagels in Ashland. These have become a household staple at our place. Let the dough thaw overnight and pop them in the oven in the morning and you get the most delicious bagel ever!

The olive oil from Pasture 42 comes in 3 varieties: standard arbequina (which is phenomenal), garlic infused, and lemon infused. The vinegar options are elderberry, fig, and pomegranate.

We’ve also recently added delectable cross rib roasts from Salant Family Ranch.

As always we feature the amazing fresh local produce from the farmers you love in Southern Oregon, and supplement our Farmers Market with organic produce that can’t be grown locally, such as avocado, citrus, and lots of others you can’t go without.

Order now if you’re a regular customer, or register for an account if you’re trying Rogue Produce for the first time. No commitment necessary – order as you please every week!
