Farm Fresh Vegetables - Charitable Community
Welcome to Scrumptious Orchard & Garden
We are a community supported agriculture farm (CSA) founded in 2020 in response to food security concerns resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic. For the 2021 season we will be donating all fruits and vegetables grown to the Colton Helping Hands Food Bank (located nearby the farm).

Scrumptious Orchard & Garden (OG) began operations in Colton, Oregon on land donated by the Simmons family. We grow our own vegetables on the Colton farm. It is the mission of Scrumptious OG to form food alliances with other producers in Oregon. Eventually we will work to expand our growing season, diversity of vegetables and fruits offered, and grow our membership.
Shares are available for the 2021 season; please sign-up for our waiting list by sending us a message using the form provided. |

Frequently Asked Questions |
|
|
How does it work?We grow as many types of vegetables as we reasonably can. We focus on the varieties that most everyone enjoys. We plan for harvest as early in the season as possible, and continue as late in the season as possible. Each Monday, we harvest what is ready, and deliver the Colton Helping Hands Food Bank. We keep meticulous records or every thing that is delivered and let shareholders know each week what we pick and send to the food bank. At the end of the season, we send a letter that tallies everything that was contributed to the food bank on members behalf. This letter can be used to claim the membership cost as a charitable donation.

What else can I expect?At Scrumptious Orchard & Garden, we like to create opportunities for members to get out of the city and spend some time on the farm. We hold harvest parties and volunteer work events. The fruits and vegetables we grow need to be amenable to the facilities of the food bank, so we stick to the basics. We do not plan to use any petro-chemicals to grow these veggies, however we do not plan to become certified as organic. If you have any concerns, just come out to the farm and see for yourself. You're welcome any time! Here is a list of the crops we plan to produce:
