Our last summer CSA went out this week! Glad we got one epic fall sunrise before the endless rain descended back on down on us. Parsnips and other massive and delish winter vegetables coming to you NEXT WEEK!!!!!

TODAY is the last day to sign up for our winter share. We don’t want to say goodbye! Also we all have to eat and pay bills. Winter farming here we come 😝!!!

We had a fun farm photo shoot yesterday with friend and CSA member Michael Chapman. The weather was in full summer/fall transition, from pouring rain to moody clouds to partial sun and even a rainbow. We can’t wait to share what Michael came up with!

I won’t say it was light work, but today many hands made much work and got about 6,000 more plants in the ground for our late fall and winter shares! Big props to the crew, who stuck it out as the temps climbed into the high 90s. ☀️💪🏼💦🌱

We had to stop by to try our basil and summer squash on their amazing pizza. Pay them a visit in downtown Troutdale, or their new location in Fairview! They’re the best pizza in East County!

Hi friends! My good friend Danielle's husband, Reid, was in a terrible bike crash in early April, which left him paralyzed below the shoulders. Now that he's back at home, he requires 24-hour care, much of which Danielle is doing herself, along with her full-time job. They have mind-boggling out-of-pocket costs, despite having health and longterm care insurance, and with the additional loss of Reid's income this is devastating for them.

They've started a fundraising campaign so they can buy a wheelchair van to help Reid get to medical appointments. Having this freedom will greatly increase their quality of life. Donations are fully tax-deductible, because they are using a reputable medical expense non-profit to shepherd the funds. If you have any ability to give, even a small amount, it will make a difference in the lives of these amazing folks. They are both caring and generous people, and what they are going through breaks my heart. Here's a link to the fundraising site: https://helphopelive.org/campaign/24110/

Please also share with anyone you think might help!

We’re feeling pretty happy with this week’s share! (Our first week was great too, but we didn’t take a picture. 😆) Bok choi, romaine lettuce, salad turnips, cilantro, snap peas, purple mizuna, broccoli, and spinach. Can’t wait to eat dinner!

Another day, another deer fence. Deer have been browsing hard on our dry bean planting (which is otherwise looking 👌🏼) down by the creek, so we moved a fence from our ready-to-harvest lettuce near the barn to protect them. Juggling electric fence that’s not meant for regular moving is time consuming (especially when your reel breaks and makes a hot mess of your electric rope) but you do what you have to where deer are concerned.

A fresh morning rainbow started our day Monday, the beginning of our CSA season! It was a good omen for the harvest, which has been abundant and green.

Farm life lately: seeding winter squash, machine maintenance, hand w**ding carrots and parsnips, tomato trellising, planting, and so much tunnel pampering 💛 (not pictured).

Our latest experiment for 2024: transplanting dry beans!

For years we’ve had mixed results direct seeding our dry beans. The w**ds quickly outpace and/or stunt them and sometimes we only yield enough for next years seed, or we make the tough decision to mow them down.

But at this years ‘s Small Farms Conference, Hayley Park blew our minds when she presented her findings from many trials of transplanting dry beans! Her thorough research gave us all the encouragement we needed, and we figure we don’t have much to lose.

So here we go! One more round of seeds in the prop house, we plan to plant them early enough so they flower (and bear fruit) before the big heat sets in. They’ll also be easier to w**d! We are cautiously optimistic that we may finally get to fire up our bean sheller (which we share with ) and share this beloved musical fruit in our winter CSA once again. 🫘

Meet Rachael!

This is Rachael’s 6th season (!!) with Full Cellar. She’s been an instrumental part of the farm ever since, a natural leader and problem solver, this farm just wouldn’t be the same without her. Rachael’s laugh is infectious and her positive attitude keeps us all afloat. She has ingenious and intuitive solutions to most of the farm’s problems and when she’s not around we find ourselves asking, What would Rachael do?

Born: Columbus, OH

Favorite farm gear: F***y pack! Rachael keeps hers stocked with her tools (and snacks), an essential for tractor work. But do ask her about her giant Baggu hat, which keeps her protected and easy to spot around the farm.

Favorite farm task: Tractor work 🚜 mowing, moving pallets, digging potatoes, anything that makes her feel like a heavy machine operator. Rachael also has the magic touch with our most finicky farm machines.

If Rachael was a vegetable, she’d be corn 🌽 raised in the Midwest, she’s ubiquitous around the farm, adaptable, outstanding in her field, and damn sweet.

Off-farm you can catch Rachael in her prodigious garden or at the playground with her “mini-me” Stella 💗

Meet Julia!

This summer is Julia’s third year at Full Cellar. She came to us through as an intern, and was an instant natural. Her intensity keeps us energized and we are never without an amazing playlist to fit any mood when she is around.

Born: Seattle

Favorite farm gear: Her . Julia loves her feet and her feet love these boots! They are durable and remarkably comfortable. So much so that Julia wears them everywhere she goes year round.

Favorite farm task: Setting up irrigation at the beginning of the season. As long as it’s not drip tape.🤪

If she was a vegetable Julia would be a garlic scape. Versatile, fun, and a reminder to celebrate the start of summer ☀️ The best things in life are a little kooky.

When not on the farm (or in her bed) you can find Julia on the trail with her incredibly sweet stud of a dog, Roux.

Thought we would take the time to reintroduce ourselves this week.

Welcome Em!

Em just started at Full Cellar this spring and she brings such positive vibes and experience learned at .

Born: Seattle - Duwamish land

Favorite farm gear: Knee pads! But not the usual ones like you wore to roller skate as a kid, but real amazing carhartt ones. We love this idea! See second picture of said knee pads.

If you were a vegetable what one would you be: Em aspires to be a beet; nutrient dense, solid, beautiful, high in iron, and hardy.

Favorite farm task: Harvesting tomatoes! Especially the cherries because it is satisfying to pop them off the vine.

When not on the farm you can find Em: Watching reality tv or cooking delicious farm fresh veggies for her friends.

Less than a week left to sign up for our winter share!! Get 5 months of cozy, nourishing veg delivered straight to your door; optional fruit and mushroom add-ons as well! Signup link in bio.

We are excited to be sending some of our sweet peppers to Pleasant Valley Elementary for their Crunch event this Thursday! Kids all over Oregon will be crunching into local produce at the same time that day, and we’re thrilled to have our peppers included. So thrilled, in fact, that we had to host our own little prequel. 🌶️😋

Summer vibes…

It’s tomato time!!

I guess it’s irrigation season! This spring has been pretty sunny and dry, which helps us prepare fields for planting but also means we can’t always wait for rain to water in all those little plants. Some years we haven’t had to start irrigating until May (and in 2019 I think it was June!) but this year we’re making our own April showers.
