We are not a Mail Order business, so if you would like our products sent to you Mail Order, we encourage you to buy from these great businesses, who buy from us:
Garden Supply - Planet Natural
Peaceful Valley Farm Supply

If you have extra produce, you can donate it to the Oregon Food Bank. Locations of drop- off sites are here: www.oregonfoodbank.org/Give-Food/Plant-a-Row-Program

If you have surplus produce, and would like to exchange it for produce you don't have, you can do it here: Portland Food Exchange . Barter on Portland!

If you can't grow your own food, buy it directly from a local farmer! This is a link to local CSA's  www.localharvest.org/csa/
(Consumer Supported Agriculture: Pay a farmer at the beginning of the growing season, for the following season's produce. You can pick up or get it delivered, depending on the CSA). This is a wonderful system. We have personally bought through CSA's for years, and many of our customers are CSA farmers and subscribers.

If you eat meat, don't raise your own, and want healthy, natural, humanely raised and local meat, find it here: Eat Wild
