Clatsop and Tillamook Counties

Clatsop and Tillamook Counties have a rich and diverse agricultural and fishing history. Once the counties were dotted with a multitude of small farms, canneries and docks, but in modern times these counties have seen a decline in the all of these areas. Despite challenges, small to mid-size locally owned farms, fishers and food production companies still operate here, and we are also seeing an increase in the number of beginning farmers throughout our region. We hope this guide will help our community take a step towards community food security. Requesting local products supports our economy by keeping dollars in our region.

The USDA calculates that farmers receive less than 19 cents for every dollar that consumers spend on food. The remainder of the dollar goes to other sectors of the food industry, to pay for labor, transportation, energy, packaging, and advertising. Buying locally reduces these costs and returns more of the food dollar to the deserving farmer.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

CSA is a system in which consumers receive food directly from the farmers who produce it. But unlike a farmers' market system, supporters of community agriculture actually share in part of the farmers' risk. That is, they pay in advance for a share of the farms products. Crops that do well will be abundant in the share, crops that do less well will be less abundant. For their part, the farmers have a stable income that doesn't depend on sunny weather on farmer's market days. Contact the following North Coast CSA Farms to inquire about purchasing one for you and your family while supporting your local food economy: Blaine Broilers (Beaver) Corvus Landing Farm (Neskowin) Coyote Moon Farms (Tillamook) Freds Homegrown Produce (Nasalle) Green Angel Gardens (Long Beach) Kingfisher Farms (Nehalem) Peace Crops (Nehalem) R-Evolution Gardens (Nehalem)
*See listings in alphabetical order for contact information

North Coast Food Guide www.northcoastfood.org

Buy in Season!
Finding local, in-season foods may seem like a challenge, but its easier than you might think. Visit farm stands, join a CSA, shop at farmers markets and make connections with people who produce local foods! Eating out-of-season food is an easy way to rack up a huge carbon footprint either its been transported from far away or its been grown in an energy-intensive climate-controlled structure. Avoid foods that arent in season. Canning and freezing are time-honored methods of preserving seasonal foods for later enjoyment. Buying seasonally also provides an exciting opportunity to try new foods and to experiment with seasonal recipes and it simply tastes better.

We are creating mobile organic gardens in used/discarded (always legitimately donated) shopping carts. Carts will be organized in a mobile garden library and loaned out to families, schools, retirement homes, markets and other community entities for a season at a time with instructions, materials, and support provided to grow food. The scale and mobility of the project suits our communitys size and limited access to sunlight, and it is our hope that these factors, combined with the charismatic nature of the project, will promote community involvement, access to fresh food, physical fitness, education, empowerment, and stewardship.
