Sign-up with Rogue Produce and get busy making tasty meals with these amazing local ingredients!

The Veggie Share

Get your local spinach from Wandering Roots Farm!

We’ve got spinach this week coming in for the first time this year from Wandering Roots Farm, and the hearty salad mix (kale, chard, arugula and mustard greens) returns from Matt at Happy Dirt Veggie Patch. The Veggie CSA Share includes raw sprouted pecans from Maria at Higher Power Raw Foods; a cut of TouVelle Cheddar from Rogue Creamery; a fresh baguette from La Baguette; and we top it off with organic tangerines, Fuji apples, carrots and a couple pounds of red potatoes. Remember that you can substitute additional veggies (you can let us know your preference in the “special instructions” section at the bottom of the order form) for the bread and/or the cheese in the Veggie Share!

The Omnivore Share

Organic pizza dough from Bread Stop Bakery. Choose either original or rosemary!

We are now the exclusive provider in Southern Oregon of the amazing fresh and organic pizza dough from The Bread Stop, in Eugene. They’ve discontinued their deliveries to our area, but we have a special connection that makes the trip north from time to time to stock up! You can choose from the original or the rosemary (use the “special instructions” box to let us know which). We’re also acquiring an amazing tomato sauce – perfect for pizza – from Sweet Creek Foods, also located in the Eugene area. Sweet Creek uses only organic and northwest grown tomatoes for all of their sauces! And to top it off (no pun intended), you can choose from the mild or spicy Italian sausage from Riverdog Farm; you cannot find a tastier sausage for any Italian dish!

Mild or spicy Italian sausage links – you pick!

We’ve thrown in a couple of other possible pizza toppings into the Omnivore CSA Share:  crimini mushrooms, red onion, and some of the spinach from Wandering Roots. To round out the share we include a delicious lettuce mix, also from Wandering Roots, as well as some beautiful gold potatoes and Fuji apples.

The Whole Kitchen Share

This CSA Share is for Mexican night! We’ve got the favorite fresh corn tortillas from Jennifer at Windborne Farm, chorizo sausage from Devon at White Oak Ranch, and a new enchilada sauce from Sweet Creek Foods (you can choose from mild red or green)! We include other items to round out an enchilada meal or to make a great breakfast:  a loaf of Little Applegate sourdough from Rise Up! Bakery, red onion, a medley of red and gold potatoes, spinach from Wandering Roots Farm, and a dozen eggs (with a couple of duck eggs mixed in with every dozen) from Harris Family Farm in Central Point. Yummy!

Additional News

Working with Maria at Higher Power has inspired us to add some of her additional products to our list. This week we’ve included her raw bee pollen, and 1 lb. bags of raw granola. We’ve also added Albecore Tuna from Sweet Creek Foods!
If you’d like to place an order for delivery next Friday, February 22nd, please submit the online form by Monday afternoon at 5:00pm. Have a look at all of our service options and sign-up today. Support your favorite local farms and food artisans and enjoy the best of what’s local!

Delivering Local Favorites

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!

 

 

Weekly Note: September 13, 2015

Hi Everybody!

Newton Pippin ApplesLots of great stuff to choose from this week, including many new delicious items!   Valley View Orchard is supplying us with our first batch of frozen sliced peaches, and frozen pitted cherries (these are amazing!).  They will also have fresh picked apples, including Golden and Red Delicious, and Newton Pippin varieties.  We’ll also have Valley View’s Bartlett and Bosc pears available.

Cherry tomatoes are on sale from Happy Dirt Veggie Patch.  As you may know, a pint of these cherry tomatoes is like no other you’ll see.  Each pint of cherry tomatoes contains at least 3 or 4 different varieties with unique colors and flavors.  This week they’re only $3.00 a pint!

Upon one of our customer’s recommendation, we have added “Rogue’s Mary Herbed Cheese,” from Rogue Creamery to our list this week.  Please remember that you can always let us know if there are particular items you would like us to add.

Fry Family Farm has both Romaine and red leaf lettuce available, among the other many items they provide from their Summer list.  Wandering Roots Farm has broccoli, topped Japanese turnips, sweet Walla Walla onions, and many other items.  Green Beans are back on the list from Bigham Farm, and we’ve added a new jam, “Tayberry,” to our list of offerings from Pennington Farm.

I’ll be working with Dunbar Farms fairly exclusively now when it comes to carrots. They seem to have the best quality I’ve seen over the past few years, and now they’re back on the list—the Scarlett Nantes and Red Cored Chantenay varieties. Dunbar also has parsnips this week, as well as some impressive Chioggia beets to offer.

If you’d like a delivery on Friday, September 18, please submit the online form by 6:00 pm this Tuesday evening. As you’ll see, we have had a major upgrade to our website, and you will receive a confirmation email promptly that details the exact items in your order, as well as the cost of the order once you submit it.

Thank you for supporting Rogue Produce, and your local farms and small businesses.  We look forward to receiving your orders!
