The biggest gem of local, fresh convenience in Aloha…read more 185th Produce is the perfect amount of quirky, rustic, and nostalgic, all tied up neatly in a weird little gift-like package for our neighborhood's own delight. The owners, Kristin & Jason, are some of the most humble, kind, helpful, and thoughtful people. Their kids work alongside them too, so this truly is a family business in every sense. Ask them about just about any product and they are beyond knowledgeable, and if they don't have what you're looking for, they'll make just about any inquiry on your behalf to see if they can make it happen. They feature local fruits, veggies, fungi, bread, desserts, pickles, dairy products, eggs, cider, kombucha, and so much more. I couldn't list everything even if I tried because they are ALWAYS bringing in new products and finding new local goodies. They're also so much more than a produce stand. They host community events like night markets, have the Dongbei Dumpling truck on Thursdays, and regularly feature other local artists, makers, and vendors. If you want to know what's happening or what's new, check out their Facebook page! They go live daily to show what's fresh, what just came in, and what's on the up and up. 185th Produce is one of those weird, wonderful little local gems that makes Aloha feel like home. I've been coming here for years, and somehow there's still always something new to discover.

It's pretty great to discover a new to you spot. I did not realize what an amazing selection they…read morehad! When the whole SNAP benefits nightmare happened, many places were giving out to those of us who are on benefits. I was grateful and held onto my credit which worked out perfectly. I got a last minute invite for Thanksgiving with friends and I wanted to make a few dishes to bring. My $20 credit was good till 11/30 so I spent a little over $6 on my SNAP card. All their produce is from local farms and I was in shock as to how gorgeous it is. Certain root vegetables like rutabegga, turnips and pearl onions can be challenging to get but they had them and they were some of the best I've ever seen! I couldn't resist some lemons and blood oranges because they looked so amazing. I also had to get apples, kale, and green onions. I realized I was dancing around while bagging some produce to 'Can I Kick It?' by A Tribe Called Quest... they even play good music??? Also, it's not often that the owners are right there working there at a business. Plus they're super nice and clearly love what they do! Thank you so much Kristin and Jason!

The rows aren't as well-maintained as some of the other farms in the area (a little jungle like lol) but maybe that's part of the adventure. Can't beat $2/lbs on all berries! We came home with a BUCKET full of Ruby Raspberries and our favorite Marionberrries for under $6! No frills, friendly service, come early before it gets too hot! We were in and out in 30 minutes and happy with our harvest!

They host CSA pick-up events for all their members so everyone has a chance to see and learn first hand their operations and production, as well as have the opportunity to grow as a community.

We have the good fortune to live near Zephyr Farm, but we would drive there even if we lived miles…read moreaway, and many do just that. It's actually hard to leave the fun and laughter of weekly pickups--meeting new and old friends, families with kids of all ages, singles, and grandparents. Zephyr is not like any CSA we've done before. Instead of the usual line of people picking up a box of CSA preselected quantities and types and leaving, Zephyr is community based, provides weekly activities, and there are no pre-sets on quantities, veggies, or flowers. We are able to choose what we want in quantities we will use from a variety of freshly harvested vegetables--tomatoes, potatoes, and onions, but also new and even exotic choices. Each week brings surprises; making fresh doughnuts or cotton candy, picking bouquets; roasting peppers; making salsa; potlucks, making wreaths; swapping ideas and recipes, and learning and trying new varieties of peppers, melons, herbs, tomatoes, and leafy vegetables. Farmer Bryan's weekly newsletter has helpful recipes and suggestions for that week's products. Those on limited incomes should not forego fresh food because Zephyr works with their customers with payment plans that meet the needs of everyone; there are sliding scales, payment plans, and they accept SNAP. Zephyr Farm brings joy, and we all need that.

I love peaches even more after going to Grossen Peaches. My family and I enjoyed hand picking…read moredelicious and juicy peaches. My son liked roaming around the farm. We ended up getting ten pounds of Canadian Harmony and Starfire peaches. I can't forget the lovely aroma of the freshly picked peaches. It was 5 star friendly service from the entrance to checkout. They answered all our questions as first timers. They provided boxes with wagons available. They told us the row numbers of the available peaches. There is also a board after the entrance that listed the row numbers and peach varieties. Check their website first before going to confirm if they are open because hours may vary. It appears to be updated daily. When I checked in the morning, it showed the hours for that day were 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. It helped us plan our day as we decided to arrive sooner than later as the parking lot filled up. We are now going to include peach picking as part of our annual summer activities.

We didn't want to miss the season again so we came on a bright Tuesday morning around 9am. It's…read morejust past Helvatia Tavern (a must-visit if you come to pick around lunch time) and in the same turn off as Roloff Farm. Parking can get filled up quickly but everyone was so friendly and helpful with tips about picking and the locations of the different varieties. The young man in the golf cart made sure me and my toddler were on the right path and also checked on and chatted with other people too. When we went there were Red Star, Vivid, and Starfire so we went around and picked a few of each. Check out was easy peasy with their scale and they also had local products and picked peaches ready for purchase. The young ladies at check-in were so nice and helped take pictures of us by their "Just Peachy" sign and put my wagon back for me (since I had my toddler with me and am also very pregnant lol). The service is amazing here, turned out to be a fun family activity, and of course the peaches were juicy and sweet. The season is short so please go and get your peaches and support this local business!

With so many CSAs in Portland, why on earth would you venture out to Helvetia? Because it's truly…read morethe best, and worth the 20 minute drive from downtown Portland. After having been a member of several other CSAs in New York City and Australia, I can say with confidence that Stoneboat is truly as good as it gets. The owners, Jesse and Aaron Nichols are brothers who bring a tremendous amount of varied experience to their farm which emphasizes sustainable growing practices. (While not yet certified organic, they practice entirely organic methods of agriculture.) Stoneboat is the epitome of excellence in small farming - innovative practices to make the most of the season, as well as utilizing old world wisdom and husbandry, such as using draft horses for many tasks that would otherwise require use of their tractor. They are also vibrantly creative and passionate about what they do, which is infectious to their customers. Even their CSA highlights their creativity - each week, they put something fun and unexpected in, from dried smoked chilis to dehydrated hibiscus flowers. Their vegetables are always beautiful, clean and as fresh as they come. Each week, they send out a recipe to use their widely varied produce, and as Aaron is a chef, the recipes are pretty darn delish. They also raise heritage and standard turkeys, although I have yet to purchase one (but I am sure they will be wonderful.) If you're looking for a CSA, I couldn't recommend them more highly. If you're not, be sure to check them out at either of the Hillsboro Farmer's markets. Things I love: - Sustainable growing practices - Draft horses to do some of the work of tractors - Thorough attention to detail, from making sure the produce is clean to a thoughtful weekly update to the customers letting them know the goings on on the farm as well as a recipe to use the produce. - Creative and unusual vegetables balanced with the old favorites - The sweetest guardian dogs in town (although I'm sure they think they're very tough) - Partners with Adelante Mujeres, a Forest Grove nonprofit, to help educate immigrant farmers to grow organically and sell their produce locally - I'm sure I'm missing hundreds of other things to love, but these are the highlights that come most easily to mind. Things I don't love: - For once, I'm at a loss for words!
