A small group of Gorge farmers have created a new business: Gorge Farmer Collective. It’s easy to order—just type “Gorge Farmer Collective” in your search engine, and it will take you to their website. Then just place your order anytime between Thursday 8 a.m. through Sunday midnight. Pick up your order every Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. at a convenient location website directs you to. You can register as a customer or a producer to benefit each other in the community. Let’s give these new entrepreneurs some support and eat healthy while doing so. Read More

The seeds for GFC were sown in March 2020 during the initial COVID-19 lockdown. “The farms that produce year-round in the area—such as mushrooms, microgreens, and meat—saw their wholesale and restaurant sales screech to a halt, with most if not all accounts disappearing overnight,” says Kiara Kashuba... “Seasonal farms with flower, fruit, and vegetable production had already ordered seeds and began propagating and were worried about where they would sell their harvests for the upcoming season. “There was also a period of uncertainty surrounding whether farmers markets in the Gorge would be allowed to continue under new COVID restrictions. Knowing at the time we couldn’t rely on our existing sales channels to move our products, a small group of farmers came together to devise a pivot, and the Gorge Farmer Collective was born.” Each member owns an equal share of the business and has an equal vote in how it operates. Members commit to work a few shifts a month. Farm members receive dividends at the end of the year. “It’s truly a grassroots approach that practices deep collaboration, self-governance, and autonomy,” Kiara says. “We believe our local food system is stronger when we work together.” The cooperative approach allows for a variety of offerings, including a range of vegetables, fruits, flowers, herbs, mushrooms, eggs, and meats.

The other new addition in the Estes parking lot is the Gorge Farmer Collective’s refrigerated trailer. The Farmer’s Collective runs an online farmers’ marketplace with selections of produce, flowers, meats, eggs, teas, breads, cheese, vinegars and other locally produced sundries. Pickup locations are located throughout the Gorge, and the Mt. View Grange is White Salmon’s pick-up spot. The Gorge Farmer Collective mission is rooted in promoting and fostering local family farmers while providing customers with a diverse selection of some of the finest and freshest foods sustainably grown in the Gorge.

The Gorge Farmer Collective (GFC) is an online marketplace with selections of produce, flowers, meats, eggs, teas, and more locally produced goods.

The Cooperative strengthens connections between producers and consumers, simplifying the process from farm to table.

In order to get you the correct items and keep costs down for our customers, we ask that each farm bring their products in individual units, and sometimes that requires the use of a paper or plastic bag. We encourage our farmers to band, bunch, or use paper or compostable bags, but sometimes certain items do require plastic packaging to maintain quality and freshness. Our farmers have spent hundreds of hours to get you your product, and it would break a farmer’s heart to see it spoil after all that effort due to improper packaging. All orders are packed into reusable totes: we ask that customers bring a box or bag to pickup to transfer into. This is another way we’re working to reduce waste. Finally, we firmly believe that local food is the most sustainable, healthy option for our community and our environment, even if there is some use of plastic. When you buy local, you: Reduce transportation pollution Lower fossil fuels emissions coming from big-Ag farms that use artificial fertilizer (a highly energy-intensive process to create) Reduce harm to waterways caused by fertilizer runoff Rebuild soils with regenerative agriculture practices Commit to supporting fair labor practices And boost our local economy by keeping dollars in our region It’s an honor to share our harvest with you.

Ask a friend or neighbor to pick it up for you! If your order is not retrieved within your selected site’s pickup timeframe, your order will be considered abandoned with no refund, and is subject to being donated to our neighbors in need at the food bank.
