We’re already in the middle of February!

June will be here before you know it!

We will still have full shares and half shares on the same schedule format as last year, so half shares will have a Group A and a Group B schedule on alternating weeks. Our 20-week season will again go from June to October, and prices for all our delivery options remain the same as the 2025 season.

We will have deliveries to Eugene, Springfield, Portland, Florence, Mapleton, Veneta, and Noti. As of now, all the delivery sites remain the same except the High Street location in Eugene. Our wonderful site hosts, the Kennedy family, have decided it’s finally time to move on, and we wish them wonderful summers full of calm days to do whatever they please. They will be missed! Our new site for that area will be on E 36th, at the home of one of our members, Karena Norton. The address is listed on the website, with more information about the site itself to be updated shortly.

You can place your order for the 2026 CSA Season here.

We work with SNAP and Double-Up Food Bucks!

Unless something changes on a national scale, we happily work with the SNAP/DUFB program to help with your CSA purchase. If you use SNAP to pay for your share, the Double-Up Food Bucks program (run through the state) will match your payments for up to half your share. You can choose SNAP at checkout and then email me to let me know the card # and benefit loading day you would like to use for the season.

PLEASE NOTE: If we are unable to enroll you in the program before the season begins or you do not have the benefits on your card to cover your half, you will be charged full price for your share. It is really important that if you are using SNAP, you let me know the correct information so I can get you enrolled in the program before the season begins. This helps us, you, and the SNAP program plan for the season.

We also have financial assistance available on a first-come, first serve basis. While we do have a small amount available for the 2026 season, we still invite any of our members who would like to contribute to donate to the financial assistance fund to help those families who might need a little help this season.

A few changes to Financial Assistance!

We know things have been tough for a lot of people with our current economic climate. But we also know how much we all like to eat delicious, fresh food! This year, we are operating with a smaller fund for financial assistance, so we’ve made a few changes to how it’s applied to your account if you’re in need.

• We do have to cap how much we can offer at no more than half the share. We are more than willing to work with you on a payment plan that fits your economic situation. We still want you to get your food!
• All coupons offered this year will automatically be applied to your account if you’re using financial assistance from the farm. This helps us use as much as possible for as many members as possible. This will go for any over-payments as well.

If you would like to donate to the financial assistance fund to help us feed as many people as possible, you can make a donation by following this link. We appreciate you all so much! Your generosity is what keeps us going. Thank you all for being so kind and understanding.

Poncho and his sister, Lefty, found a new home!

If you pay attention to our social media, you may have seen a few pictures of a little lamb named Poncho who was hanging out with us here in the office. He was born one of four last week, and we weren’t sure he was going to make it (one of them didn’t). Poncho came inside to see if he could rally, while Lefty stayed out with mom, but both had to be bottle-fed. But there’s good news! Both Poncho and Lefty are doing great, and they both went to a new home with a new human mom who is thrilled to bottle-feed them and get them strong enough to thrive! We are so excited for these little ones. The third baby is still here on the farm with mom, nursing away and doing well!

We’re back at the Lane County Farmers’ Market!

It’s that time of year! We’re back at the Lane County Farmers’ Market on Saturdays! Come see us at the market pavilion at 8th and Oak from 9am to 2pm every Saturday for delicious veggies! This time of year, there’s a lot of root vegetables, but they’re all delicious! Come on down and say hi. We hope to see you next weekend!

The adventures of Maude and Maddie are all about sheep!

Maude and Maddie, our two girls minding the sheep, are always having fun at their jobs! It’s a bit chilly today with all the snow last night and this morning, but these ladies and their sheep are keeping warm in the barn!

These last few weeks, they’ve gotten to play with all the littles as so many lambs have been born here on the farm! These girls are busy, but never too busy to come up to the fence and say hi–as long as their sheep behave. Keep an eye on social media from time to time to see what these lovely ladies are up to!

Would you be willing to put up a flyer or a brochure?

All small businesses rely on marketing to bring in membership, but nothing helps more than word of mouth. If you would be willing to post a flyer or a few brochures at your neighborhood restaurant or place of business, please let me know! We appreciate any social media shares or good words supporting the CSA you can offer. If someone lets us know you sent them, we’ll send you a $10.00 coupon for the referral! You all are what keep us going here at the farm, and we’re so grateful for your support!

We are so excited to have everyone back this season! You all keep us going and we couldn’t do all we do here at the farm without you. Thank you for letting us tag along on your food journey this year!

Many blessings,

Chelsea and your Winter Green farmers
