Gardenripe is a family run CSA. Subscriptions for home delivery cover 17-18 weeks. Subscriptions are taken in January each year. Home delivery is provided.
Our farm is located northeast of Silverton at 700 feet elevation. It has been owned by our family for over 100 years and is designated a "Century Farm." In growing up on the farm, I have been involved with farming and, more importantly, gardening most of my life. I draw a distinction between farming and gardening, and Gardenripe is gardening! I enjoy the variety of work in a garden as compared with the commercial production of a single crop on the farm. If you like fresh, healthy produce, Gardenripe is for you!
Bill Scheidler, the owner of Gardenripe, is a skilled and knowledgeable farmer. His farm produces a wide variety of quality vegetables and fruits. Despite these notable merits, I cannot recommend Gardenripe because of the mean and disrespectful treatment I (and other volunteers) received from him.more]
Gardenripe is a great CSA. Bill delivered our produce for the 2008 year & we loved what we got!! Lots of fresh produce! I froze & canned most of it to enjoy this winter.... [more]
