Volunteer Roxanne at We Grow LLC

Winding Down

The season of sharing vegetables is winding down quickly. Only one more week and you will be on your own to source produce. Hopefully these last few shares will last you several weeks. We do plan to attend the Saturday Medford markets until the end of the month just in case. We will also take online orders until we are out of our storage crops. We will be offering potatoes, squash, greens, radishes, turnips, carrots, beets and much more well into the winter. Depending on the weather, we may also have continued broccoli, brussels, cabbage and cauliflower. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to place an order. We can deliver to Medford and Phillips. We truly appreciate how much food you all have put on your tables from our farm this year. It has been our most productive year to date.

As we wrap up our season, we need to finish up our shout out to the people who help us farm. Roxanne has been volunteering at the farm for several years when she has a free minute in her schedule. Having been an active gardener with her family for most of her life, she brings first hand experience and willingness to tackle any job. We have a great deal of respect for her passion for eating real, whole food and the great lengths she goes through to put as much away as possible for winter eating for her family.

Linda came to us as a volunteer before we even knew we needed her. We will never forget her first interactions as a customer when she wanted all of our “ugly” produce that we were afraid to sell. With a background in nutrition and wellness coaching, she is passionate about understanding the role that food plays in every function within the body and the body’s own ability to heal itself in part through what you eat. It has been incredibly interesting to learn from her over the years as we work alongside one another. Both of these women are some of our greatest consumers.

Next week, we will be planting upwards of 100 lbs of garlic cloves for harvest next season. Both Linda and Roxanne have done this task in nasty weather. We appreciate their hard work, sometimes under less than ideal conditions.

Planting for next season,

Eric & Rebecca signature
