About the Farm

Background

Founded in April 2009, Central Oregon Locavore has dedicated itself to educating the Central Oregon community about the benefits of fresh, nutritious food produced sustainably by local farmers and ranchers. Over the years, it has become known for improving access to nutrient-dense local food for all community members through various outreach programs targeting youth, low-income families, and pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

Practices

Central Oregon Locavore focuses on creating an ecologically stable and socially just food system. They emphasize the importance of sustainably produced food and support local farmers and ranchers by providing a platform for them to sell their products. Their indoor farmers market operates year-round, ensuring continuous access to fresh, in-season local food.

The Rest

Central Oregon Locavore runs multiple educational programs for the community, students, farmers, ranchers, and producers. They host events to celebrate local food, offering discounts on events, classes, lectures, and educational films to their members. The Locavore Cultivator Club caters to culinary and local food enthusiasts who wish to support their mission. Members enjoy a quarterly Members Only Appreciation Day with a 10% discount on the entire store.
