Winter CSA Shares, Multiple Choice!

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.

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!

Winter Farmers Market Preview

Hello Southern Oregon!

We’re All NutsRogue Produce begins its Winter CSA the week after Thanksgiving, on Friday, December 4. Beginning at that time, we switch from an every-week delivery to every other week. Our Standard Delivery moves from a promised value of $21–$25 every week to a guaranteed value of $50 in the every-other-week delivery. We will continue to offer the convenience of custom orders and home delivery and can skip delivery any time you need to for any reason. You don’t have to wait until December to sign-up with Rogue Produce, but here’s a preview of some of the delicious products we will be featuring from the best of our local farms and small businesses this winter. Support Rogue Valley local all year long!

Fresh Produce

We’ll feature all the usual winter fare, including squash, leeks, onions, potatoes, kale, garlic, carrots, beets, celery, and some fresh salad mix and snap peas as well. We also have connections with farms in Northern California that supply us with delicious citrus items such as lemons and mandarin oranges in January and February. We’ve even been known to source fresh cranberries from organic farmers in Central Oregon as well as walnuts, almonds, and other varieties of nuts.

Dried and Frozen Fruits

We’ve teamed up in years past with Hi Hoe Farm to supply dried apples and pears and Happy Dirt Veggie Patch for sun-dried tomatoes. We aim to offer these items again this year as well as frozen fruits from a variety of farms, including Valley View Orchard, Pennington Farms, and Antonio’s Farm. Our frozen fruit selection will include pitted cherries, sliced peaches, berry medleys, raspberries, strawberries, apricots, and more!

Dry Goods

Dunbar Farms in Medford keeps us going strong through the winter with a fantastic selection of beans, flours, and other items like polenta and popcorn. Higher Power Raw Foods is a great source for granolas, trail mix, sprouted nuts — including cashews, walnuts, and almonds — and other treats like raw crackers and chocolate bars.

Breads

Sunstone Artisan Bakery in Ashland will be cooking up a special batch or two of some of their flavorful holiday breads, and we’ll continue to offer their staples of slicer loaves, baguettes, and crackers throughout the winter. Organicos is our source for the best of the gluten-free world, with tasty loaves of Cinnamon Raisin, Brown Rice, Multi-Seeded, and Oat varieties, plus a delicious gluten-free pizza crust!

And Much More!

It doesn’t stop there! We’ll also be delivering select cheeses from Rogue Creamery; one-of-a-kind jams from Pennington Farm and Talent Natural Farm; Olive Oil and Elderberry Balsamic Vinegar from Pasture 42; honey; tea; locally roasted coffee; pickled items; and superfoods like raw chocolates, smoothie mixes, and hot chocolate mix from Bright Earth Foods in Ashland.
