Dolan Creek Farm

Welcome to your farm!

We are a  family owned and operated farm in Boring Oregon committed to being good stewards of the land and producing healthy food for our neighbors.  At Dolan Creek, we grow food the old-fashioned way: with sunshine, water and good compost. We refuse to use any  pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers or hormones.  This beautiful 115 acre farm has been in the family for over 60 years. Come and enjoy the gardens, the animals and the scenic beauty of Dolan Creek and make this your farm.

We have many seasonal crops:  fresh salad ingredients in June, raspberries in July, fresh garden vegetables in August and September, pumpkins and apples in October, grass fed beef in June and November and finishing the season with Christmas trees in December.  We also produce farm fresh eggs year round.

Own a share of the bounty! In order to keep this beautiful farm in operation we are looking for families who want to partner with us! Starting in the Spring of 2010 we will be starting our first CSA season (Community Supported Agriculture). The concept is quite simple: each year you buy a "share" of the harvest, becoming a "shareholder" of the farm. The yearly share price supports the actual costs of running the farm. In return, the farm supplies each shareholder with seasonal produce. Knowing that our produce is pre-sold, we can focus on what we do best..farming! For 20 weeks, beginning mid-June through mid-October, our CSA members can pick up their produce and enjoy the fruits and vegetables their partnership has made possible.

CSA share information:

We are currently sold out for the 2010 produce season. Please feel free contact us about information or a waiting list.

CSA memberships recieved by April 1st, 2010 are $550 for the season and half shares are $350*.   Half shares consist of half the items in our regular share and would be a good choice for couples.  Regular shares are equivilent to 2 grocery bags of produce. The picture to the right is an example of what a September share would look like (corn, asian pears, apples, heirloom tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, zucchini, onion & peppers). We ensure you will be getting your money's worth! To ensure your share for next season, pay online by going to our web store.  Hurry, there are a limited number of shares available and they will go fast! .

If you would like to pay the whole share upfront you will recieve a $50 discount= $500 for a full share (no deposit required). To lower the cost of your share you can commit to work at the farm as a "farm hand". (Email us to discuss this option. )
