Zoe Bradbury caught our attention here at Cuisine last year when she began using draft horses on her family farm in Langlois.

This year, she is starting a program I thought many of you would like to know about. It’s called Harvest Baskets.

The idea is akin to the idea of Community Supported Agriculture that is catching on all over the country. Harvest Baskets will consist of baskets of produce delivered to a Coos Bay location once a week, for 26 weeks, during the harvest season between June and November.

The baskets will include the fruits and vegetables in season at the time and could include apples, artichokes, asparagus, beans, beets, berries, broccoli and cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, fennel, head lettuce, herbs, leafy greens, leeks and onions, parsnips, peppers, potatoes squash and tomatoes. The baskets will also include recipes.

Cost for the baskets average $25 per week for about $30 worth of retail value produce. The cost of the 26-week program is $650, and there is also a monthly payment option.

The best part about it is that you know exactly where your veggies are coming from.

When you sign up for the program, you select a pick-up site with designated pick-up hours. Each week, the produce will be delivered in reusable totes. Each following week you’ll bring back the empty tote and receive the new one.

Zoe, her mom Betsy and sister Abby (of Abby’s Greens) run Valley Flora, the family farm on Floras Creek in Langlois. The trio grow more than 50 different crops on their farm.

They are also offering two programs with Abby’s Greens for salad shares and a flower share (10 weeks of mixed blooms for $100).

For more information, call Valley Flora at (541) 348-2180. The mailing address is P.O. Box 91, Langlois, OR 97450.
