Family Farm

Rainshine is a small-scale, family farm that grows vegetables, berries, and apples in the foothills of the Coastal range in Kings Valley, OR.  

We grow food for our CSA, the Corvallis Saturday Farmers' Market,  and for several local restaurants.

To us, the most important qualities of food are taste, freshness, healthfulness (non-toxic).  Food selected & grown for exceptional flavor, picked when ripe, and sold fresh, is the best tasting food you will find.  We focus on varieties that are suitable to our slightly cooler climate, high quality non-GMO seed sources, a balanced ecosystem (which is much harder to achieve than it sounds), cover cropping, and nutrient balancing in our soils, to grow vibrant and healthy food.  

We  choose holistic management in our fields and orchards which is healthier for the soil, waterways, wild animals, and humans.  We are blessed to steward this land and grow food for our community. 

We look forward to feeding you!

2025 FARM REPORT

​

In 2025 our evolution as a food farm continues!  16 years in, and we are still learning big lessons!  In our journey to find balance in our lives, be better growers and land stewards, and to find our unique pathway to profitability, we have a big change in store for this season.  For the first year since we started our farm, we will not be offering a Summer CSA program.

 

So here is what you can expect from us in 2025:    

• CSA programs- no Summer CSA for 2025.  2026 Winter CSA will continue on with more memberships and offerings available.

​

• We will be selling at the Corvallis Saturday Market April - November.   Same location, 1st & Jefferson, 9 AM to 1 PM.  Check out our Market Card membership for special benefits.

​

• We will continue providing our favorite chefs with fresh produce.   When you eat at these restaurants you are also supporting us!  Castor, Lucca Taverna, Taco Vino, Bodhi Bakery/Bistro, The Naked Crepe, Ants On A Log Cafe, and our Alma mater, Breitenbush Hot Springs.
