We are tenant farmers. We live in Eugene, Oregon and rent nearby cropland to feed our community.
The Seavey Loop Orchard is home to 200 productive and diverse fruit trees spread over 13 acres; the diversity of this orchard allows us to harvest fresh fruit June – November. This orchard has been a 5-year renovation project that’s just coming to fruition. Our annual field crop production (about 2 acres) is also located at this site.
The Kizer Creek Orchard, a beautifully situated apple orchard near Cottage Grove, twenty-two miles from the Seavey Loop Orchard. This 1 acre intensive apple orchard‘s isolation from agricultural production keeps the fruit almost entirely disease and pest-free.

We have a small farm on the Umpqua River and sell the vegetable s and garlic (~100 lbls/year) we grow, all no-spray (not certified organic).
We need to find a source for organic straw.
Can you HELP?
Thank you,
Tom

Hi!
In response to your question, I would ask another…. what are you planning on doing with the straw?
My first guess is mulching your garlic. Our suggestions are the following:
-use onsite materials that are readily available, such as grass clippings from when you mow your lawn or leaves that have fallen from your trees.
-ask a neighbor if they have dead leaves or grass clippings that you could use
Our farm uses compost from Lane Forest Products to mulch our garlic, it can be woody but it is inexpensive and they will deliver a truck load. It sounds like you are working on a small scale so probably don’t need too much material.
I hope this helps; if you have further questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
thanks!
Happy Autumn!
