From the Farm to Your Neighborhood Store
Fresh, Local and Organic
Do you long for the taste of a sweet, juicy Hood strawberry? Do you celebrate fresh greens grown locally? Then you are in the right place. From local rhubarb and snap peas, to seasonal berries and apples, we have everything that a great produce department should have — plus a few surprises! We buy direct from growers throughout the year, so our produce is just about as fresh as if you had picked it yourself.

Vincent Family Cranberries
Bandon, OR
For three generations, the Vincent family has cultivated cranberry bogs in Bandon, Oregon. Oregon’s coastal climate is ideal for growing exceptional cranberries. The cool, salty winds make for a hardy cranberry, darker and sweeter than most. “The farm is more than just land to us. It represents a type of ‘sacred ground.’ Nurturing this ground through natural and responsible farming practices is second nature to us.”

Columbia Gorge Organics
Hood River, OR
Hood River, with its long history of fruit growers, is also home to Columbia Gorge Organics. We've had the pleasure of carrying the fruit of their organic bounty since we opened our doors. We're proud to support a family farm that is helping make Oregon a better place to live and eat.

Sunnyslope Ranch
Wapato, WA
There’s nothing more delicious than fresh fruit ripened by the sun. Nestled in the Yakima Valley of Central Washington is Sunnyslope Ranch. Whether your tastes lean toward cherries, apricots, plums, pluots, peaches or nectarines, Sunnyslope Ranch grows some of the highest quality, organic, tree-ripened stone fruit we have the pleasure of selling in our produce department.
Yamhill County Mushrooms
Yamhill, OR
Growing mushrooms requires a lot of discipline and care. Yamhill County Mushrooms knows—they’ve been at it for over 30 years. Bob Darm and his crew of 75 folks grow high-quality white button, crimini and Portobello mushrooms. Most mushrooms in Northwest grocery stores come from either California or Canada. We’re proud to support this family-owned and operated business that continues to help us provide our customers with a fresh, local and organic option.

Rising C Ranch
Reedley, CA
Eric Christensen knows citrus. He knows that picking when it’s ripe makes all the difference, even if it means wa iting an extra week or two. He knows that qualit y matters, so he keeps his use of pesticides to a m inimum, and picks a nd packs each order right on the farm. And he knows that Jeff Fairchild, our Produce Buyer, gets all giddy when Eric makes a few varieties a vailable e xclusively to New Seasons Market for our annual citrus tasting. Thank you Eric!

Maryhill Orchards
Maryhill, WA
For three generations the Takahashi family has worked their land along the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, making Maryhill a premier Northwest fruit grower. They let the fruit ripen on the tree and never ship farther than the 100 miles to our stores. The result? You get a sweet taste of summer every time.

Mustard Seed Farms
St Paul, OR
David and Nancy Brown have been farming in the Newberg/St Paul area since 1965. They've provided us with an array of quality produce, from green beans to pumpkins, for over 10 years. We love them for thier quality and consitency, and because they're so close to home. Did we mention that they have over 80 acrescertified organic? Wonderful. To learn more visit Mustard Seed Farms.

Denison Farms
Corvallis, OR
Tom Denison and Elizabeth Kerle farm 20 acres of organic land north of Corvallis, overlooking the Jackson-Frazier Wetland. Like the neighboring wetland, diversity is the very nature of their farm. They produce a wide variety of crops including many varieties of tomatoes, berries, melons, and peppers. Over the years, we’ve formed a great bond with Denison Farms. We’re so close that New Seasons Market is the only place to find their vine-ripened tomatoes, other than at their stand at the farmers market. Here’s to great food and a great friendship!

Siri & Son Farms
Clackamas, OR
Crisp summer lettuce, dark green spinach, spicy radishes, festive cilantro, crunchy green onions and tangy rhubarb are just a few of the organic crops grown at Siri & Son Farms in Clackamas, Oregon. The Siri family has been farming their 200 acres for over four generations and is one of the very last agricultural holdouts in their growing region. They are also frequent shoppers at our Happy Valley store.

Spring Hill Farm
Albany, OR
Jamie Kitzrow, of Spring Hill Farm, just west of Albany, is just one of the many local growers we're proud to support. Each winter, Jamie sits down with our Local Produce Buyer, and decides what to grow on his organic farm during the next season. It's this kind of partnership with our local farmers that keeps our community agriculture growing strong.
