Rogue Produce: Year in Review

December 9, 2018
 · No Comments

As 2018 comes to a close, Rogue Produce and Community Compost would like to share a couple of the highlights of the last year, and offer a look ahead to 2019!

New Farmers on the Scene

Available for delivery this week!

We’ve started working a few new producers, including Bee Girl Honey, Chai Kitchen, and most recently, Victory Garden. For our delivery this Friday, December 14th, we’ve got a special late Autumn treat of Romaine, red leaf and green butter lettuce from Victory Garden, as well as bok choy and baby bok choy! Victory Garden has recently begun operations in the upper Rogue Valley. In addition to fresh produce, they have amazing free-range turkey available for the holidays! Click here to place an online order for home delivery.

No Processing & No Shipping & Handling

One of the latest developments we’ve introduced is the elimination of fees from custom orders at our Online Farmers Market. You can take advantage of this new opportunity – simply select one of the 3 “Rogue CSA” options:  The Veggie Share, The Omnivore Share or The Whole Kitchen Share – and you can select any of the other produce items from our entire list with no processing or shipping and handling fees! That means you get to shop the best of what’s local from your regional small farms and food producers and receive FREE home delivery!

Chicken is on the Menu

Rogue Produce is Now a Partner with Uproot Meats!

We’ve been providing an outstanding selection of local beef, pork and lamb for quite sometime now, and we are now collaborating with Uproot Meats to get whole, free-range chicken delivered right to your door along with the items you order from Rogue Produce. You can contact Krista at Uproot Meats (408-504-9869), or give us

a call at Rogue Produce (541-301-3426) for more information.

Community Compost Customer Coupon Book

Not only have we expanded our residential food-scrap pick-up service to include

Appreciation to Compost Customers!

Phoenix and Medford, we now offer every customer an annual coupon book full of discounts to your favorite local businesses, including Bloomsbury Books, Brothers Restaurant, The Northwest Nature Shop and more! These businesses want to support those in our community who are working to reduce waste from our landfills and support our local farmers with the resources they can use. If you’d like to find out more about our weekly kitchen-scrap pick-up service, visit our Community Compost webpage.

Gift Cards

In looking ahead to Christmas and the New Year, what better way is there to support our local farmers than by purchasing a gift for your friends or family living in Southern Oregon. Remember, Rogue Produce delivers all the way from Ashland to Grants Pass!

Gratitude

Thank you once again for supporting Rogue Produce and all of the local farms and producers we partner with. It has been our mission since we started in 2013 to support local growers and artisans, and make shopping local as fun, convenient, nutritious and delicious as possible!

 

Happy Holidays from Rogue Produce and all our local partners!

 

Winter CSA Shares, Multiple Choice!

October 14, 2018

Rogue Produce Winter CSA Shares

Sign-up for CSA Share deliveries, and order additional items from our Online Farmers Market with no processing fees!

Friday, November 16th (the week before Thanksgiving), marks the first delivery of the Rogue Produce Winter CSA, and we continue delivering the Winter Shares every other Friday until the end of May, 2019 (we deliver directly to your home or business). The Winter Shares contain approximately $50 in fresh produce; and this year we’ve created 3 types of CSA Shares, to meet the needs of every unique household!  We pick the highest quality produce from farms in Southern Oregon, and supplement the shares with organic produce from additional farms in the Northwest. Not only do we have new selections of CSA Shares – now any customer who signs up for one can order additional items from our Online Farmers Market, with no processing or delivery fee!

Here are brief descriptions of the 3 different kinds of CSA Shares you can choose from each week we deliver:

  • The Fruit & Veggie Share will consist entirely of vegetarian items, including a predominance of fresh fruits and veggies; and an occasional item such as a block of cheese from Rogue Creamery, fresh made tortillas from Windborne Farm, Olive Oil from Pasture 42, and others. This bag can be further customized to include only veggies and fruits if so desired.
  • The Omnivore’s Share is also dominated by fresh fruits and veggies, but will include one of the following: Chorizo pork sausage from White Oak Ranch; breakfast or Italian sausage from Riverdog Farm; grass fed ground beef, beef jerky, or steak from Dauenhauer Cattle; or lamb cuts from Rock Field Farm. Much of the selection of meats we offer are difficult to find anywhere else, and we choose only the best tasting, highest quality products!
  • The Whole-Kitchen Share will include a loaf of bread from Rise Up! Bakery; a dozen eggs from Poetential Farm; a meat selection from a local producer (see above); a cheese selection from either Rogue Creamery, By George Farm, or Oak Leaf Creamery; and will be rounded out with a complimentary selection of fresh fruits and veggies.

Online Farmers Market

Huge selection of your favorites!

When you sign-up for our CSA Shares, you now have the ability to choose additional items from the entire selection at our Online Farmers Market, with no processing or delivery fees! Additional items include pastries, nuts and seeds, super foods, smoothie mixes, frozen fruits, olive oils and vinegars, and so much more!

Sign-Up

If you sign-up for 6 Winter CSA Shares before November 1st, we’ll include a $10 credit to our Online Farmer’s Market for custom ordering! You can sign-up at www.rogueproduce.com, or give us a call at 541-301-3426.

Re-Cap, Why Rogue Produce?

Here are just a few points that make the Rogue Produce CSA Share the way to go:

  • Direct delivery to your home or business, from Ashland to Grants Pass; Jacksonville to Shady Cove!
  • Highest quality items from your local farms and producers.
  • Supplemental organic produce of the highest quality from regional producers.
  • The option to skip deliveries any week you need to, for any reason.
  • Greatest flexibility and customization options.
  • Year-round delivery.
  • Our service is “Full-Circle”, with Community Compost.

Community Compost?

Food-scraps to farm soil!

That last bullet point refers to our weekly food-scrap pick up service, currently available in Ashland, Talent, Phoenix and Medford. You collect the compostable foods-scraps from your kitchen, and leave them curbside on your pick-up day every week. We pick them up and donate them to local small farms to integrate into their composting operations. Food-scraps are a valuable commodity to our local farmers; and serve our community by returning as nutrients to the soil, rather than as waste to a land-fill. We’ve even created an incentive for residents to participate in this program, by partnering with local businesses to create the Annual Customer Appreciation Coupon Book!

Delivering Local Favorites

March 11, 2017
 · No Comments

As we expand home delivery of our year-round CSA and Online Farmers Market to new customers in Grants Pass and the surrounding area, we’d like to share about all of the local producers you can support – and their amazing products you can enjoy – by shopping at Rogue Produce. In addition to fresh produce from many of our local farms, our list includes breads (gluten and non-gluten), cheeses (goat and cow), olive oil, vinegar, grass-fed beef, superfoods, and much more. This post is the first of several in which we will introduce some of our fine partners in Southern Oregon.

 

Organicos Bakery

Rice BreadOrganicos has established itself as one of the most praised producers of gluten-free breads and pizza crusts. Based in Phoenix, they have several varieties of delicious sandwich breads, including multi-grain seeded, rice, sunflower oat, and their most popular cinnamon raisin. We love these breads because in addition to being gluten-free, they also contain no egg or dairy products, which is often a hard find for families with members who are vegan or who have dairy or egg allergies. You can’t beat these breads for taste, nor can you beat the great price of these products at Rogue Produce.

 

Rogue Creamery

Rogue Creamery CheesesTheir cheese are already world renowned, and how lucky we are to have an amazing company like the Rogue Creamery in Central Point. What you may not know is that Rogue Creamery recently became certified organic, and they have always produced the most amazing varieties of cheese, and we also sell their delicious butter. They even include local ales in some of their recipes, and they are most famous for their blue cheeses.

 

Rise Up! BakeryRise Up! Bread

We are grateful to have discovered Rise Up! Artisan Bread based out of the Applegate Valley to supply us with a variety of breads, including sprouted multi-grain, sourdough, levain, and many more. There is so much to learn about this totally sustainable producer, and we highly recommend you visit their website.

 

Pickled Planet

Love Kraut

This is another unique company we are so lucky to have in our area. Based out of Ashland, Pickled Planet produces a huge selection of krauts, with almost every combination of fermented veggies you can imagine. It’s always a good idea to have a jar of one (or many) of their krauts in the fridge to combine with whatever you’re cooking up in the kitchen.

 

Pennington Farm

PiesOh my! If you have a sweet tooth look no further. Pennington Farms supplies Rogue Produce with incredible pies and turnovers created from the fabulous berries they grow on their farm on highway 238, between Grants Pass and Jacksonville. They’ve also recently begun producing a line of granola that any child or adult will love. We sell pints of their fresh picked berries in the main growing season, plus tasty jams and bags of their frozen smoothie berry mix all year long!

 

The above is just a short preview of the many local businesses you can support by signing up with Rogue Produce. You can see a more comprehensive list of the local farmers and producers we work with by visiting our website. We offer home delivery of all our products year-round, and we now serve Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford, Jacksonville, White City, Eagle Point, Shady Cove, Rogue River, Grants Pass, Ruch, and Murphy!

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

 February 5, 2017
This week's supply is from Chris at Say Hay Farms near Guinda, CA.

This week’s supply is from Chris at Say Hay Farms near Guinda, CA.

If you are looking for a tasty, nutritious snack or side dish, look no further than Roasted Brussel Sprouts.  Brussel sprouts are a nutrition powerhouse, think green cabbage times ten!  They are rich in vitamins and minerals, including but not limited to vitamins A, B complex, C, manganese, and omega 3 fatty acids.  Medical researchers are finding increasing evidence that consuming Brussel sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables on a regular basis promote health and reduce risk of illness, including some cancers.  We are all about eating for optimal nutrition, but not at the expense of enjoyment.  I hope you give this recipe a try because these are not the Brussel sprouts that your mother used to make, I promise.

Ingredients

½ – 1lb Brussel Sprouts, cleaned and halved
2 Tbsp Garlic Olive Oil from Pasture 42
2 Tbsp Rogue Creamery Butter, melted
½ Tsp Salt, or to taste
Fresh Cracked Pepper
1/3 c. Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.  While the oven warms, melt the butter and prepare the Brussel Sprouts.  Rinse each sprout and remove outer leaves if necessary.  Slice each sprout in half and place in bowl or Ziploc bag.  Add the butter, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Toss until each of the sprouts is covered in the oil mixture.  Let them marinate for 30 minutes on the counter, re-tossing periodically.

Place the marinated Brussel Sprouts on a baking sheet.  Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, add the Parmesan Cheese and continue roasting for another 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes and enjoy!  For culinary interest or variation, experiment with your favorite seasonings.  Connect with us on Facebook or in the comments below and let us know what you think!  We’d love to hear about your favorite recipe variations and see photos of your culinary creations!

Wishing You Health & Happiness,

Your Friends at Rogue Produce

Soupaghetti!

October 31, 2016
 · No Comments

Sausage, Zucchini, & Bell Pepper “Soupaghetti”

In this recipe we cook the spaghetti squash in a similar fashion as in the pesto recipe we shared a few weeks back. We didn’t know what to call this at first, but it turned out to be just like spaghetti with a more “soupier” sauce than usual, so “soupaghetti” sounded perfect, but we’re open for suggestions : )

 

INGREDIENTS:

2 large Italian sausages, mild

2 c. tomato sauce

8 oz. veggie broth

3 cloves garlic

4 shallots

1 red bell pepper

1 heirloom tomato

1 zucchini

1 large spaghetti squash

salt, pepper, dried parsley, garlic olive oil, parmesan
Here's the sauce to go on your spaghetti squash pasta!

Here’s the sauce to go on your spaghetti squash pasta!

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cook sausages in a saute pan. Set aside until cool and slice into rounds.
  2. In a 2 quart pan, add tomato sauce and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer.
  3. In a mini food processor or blender, add garlic, shallots, bell pepper (rough chopped) and heirloom tomato. Mix until all chunks are gone and then add to simmering sauce along with chopped zucchini, salt, pepper and dried parsley to taste. Simmer until the spaghetti squash is ready per instructions below.
  4. After cutting squash length-wise and cleaning out the seeds, brush the squash with olive oil (garlic oil from Pasture 42 is the best!). Sprinkle salt on the squash and then lay flat on a cooking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 35 minutes.
  5. After the squash is done, scrape out the meat for your noodles and add your sauce for soupaghetti : )

We love to garnish this dish with grated parmesan cheese.  Please let us know your squash recipes, and share your other ideas on our blog at www.rogueproduce.com, or on our facebook page.

And remember, you can sign-up anytime for our food-scrap pick up service, community compost, and get all the left over vegetable scraps in your household donated to local farms each week to use as compost (this service is available in Ashland/Talent/Phoenix)!

Here’s To Your Health & Happiness
