LOCAL GROWING at Ashland-Talent Growers CSA


The Ashland-Talent Growers CSA* is a new and exciting collaboration of small-scale local farmers and food producers in the communities of Ashland and Talent who have combined their resources in order to provide all of us fresh local organic food lovers with an increased variety of local products.

The Farms:

The three main farms – Happy Dirt Veggie Patch, Meadowlark Family Farm, and Village Farm – encompass ten acres on five different sites in the Bear Creek Region. Within their cooperative effort, individual farmers can specialize and grow what is best suited to the micro-climate and soil type of their location. And the group as a whole can take advantage of the diverse skill set of the individual farmers: organic farming, ranching, permaculture, mycology, food preservation, distribution, wildland ecology, and value-added food production.

*CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture
