Local Food Subscription CSA | Produce Organically Grown, Year- Round in Downtown Bend, Oregon

When it comes to food safety, we've got it covered.  We are doing everything we can to keep our community safe and prevent foodborne illness.  We always have followed food safety protocols such as wearing gloves, changing them often, requiring hand washing, sanitizing the workroom often, asking employees not to come to work if they are sick, etc.

In response to COVID19, we have also implemented social distancing protocols as much as possible to keep our employees safe.

The good news is that Coronavirus does not appear to be a foodborne pathogen.  We have been told by a doctor that even if the virus was on our lettuce, it would be safe to eat within 20 minutes.   And although we have an extremely fast harvest–>table turn time, it's usually at least a few hours before our lettuce would get to a consumer.

In general, we think it's a good idea for all of us to handle all home delivery products with caution.  It might be a good idea to let our delivery sit in the cooler for 4-6 hours before you bring it inside.  And when you do touch the delivery, you may want to disinfect the containers and make sure to wash your hands after handling the packaging.

And of course, thoroughly wash all vegetables before consuming.  Although our Volcano Veggies grown products don't have any harmful chemicals sprayed on them (they are completely pure!), we still advise that you wash all fresh vegetables before consuming.

On a community level, we understand that it's extremely important to “flatten the curve".  That's why we have decided to offer delivery of grocery essentials in addition to our farm-fresh products.  We want to help make it possible for everyone to stay home as much as possible, and stay away from grocery stores.  Initially, we shopped at Costco and Whole Foods.  Now we have established relationships with local farms, food businesses and grocery distributors.   We are committed to sourcing as locally and organically as possible.

More products are becoming available every week, so please check back often.  By June, we hope to have a full selection of farm-fresh products.  Essentially, we will become an online farmers market with free home delivery.   I'm sure we will all miss the farmers market experience, but if social distancing is still recommended, we will be here to bring good food to you & support Oregon farmers.

Update 3/28/20:  We will not be picking up clamshells as long as the Stay Home, Save Lives order is in place.  Please save them for when life gets back to normal!

Yes! If you choose to pickup your order at the farm, you can transfer the veggies to your own container and leave the clamshells behind for us to re-use. 

And if you are a delivery customer, please leave your clamshells out for us to pick up at the next delivery.  We will give them to The Broomsmen to be repurposed into PLA plastic-alternative sheeting material.  (please clean and remove labels or cut off lids)

Lots of ways! Learn more here.
