Northwest Organic Farm CSA, Ridgefield
Northwest of Clark County Fairgrounds, Northwest Organic Farm started in 2000 and sells produce to Zupan, People’s Co-op, Food Front Co-op and Sheridan Produce. Beginning its first year as a CSA, Northwest Organic Farm is offering approximately thirty shares to members. The farm is USDA organic certified and a member of Oregon Tilth.
Along the driveway going into the farm is a large field of garlic, one of the several garlic fields. In September each year, Northwest Organic Farm holds its popular garlic festival. One of the more unusual items on the farm is a specially constructed garlic digger which helps to efficiently harvest the many varieties of garlic grown on the farm.
Joyce Haines and Greg Valdivia are pleased to also offer 15 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, several varieties of potatoes, carrots and peppers. Also included in CSA shares are such vegetables as purple broccoli, sugar snap peas, many lettuces and greens, cauliflower, and tomatillas. Heirloom and unusual seeds are purchased to add a wide variety to the produce available and are started on the farm. Decisions as to what to plant are customer driven.
In addition to CSA shares, members and customers can purchase dried tomatoes and dried garlic. Starter plants are for sale in the spring. Eggs can also be purchased when they are available.
