Dale Graff Produce

Deer Island Farms

 

Hi, Just got a call from my raspberry farmer in Woodland, Washington that her raspberries are ready for market.  I am adding them to the list for Saturday's delivery. As you may be aware, both the California and Washington cherry crops are very sparse this year due to some crazy weather but I will have a load for delivery Saturday, June 22.  Sorry that prices are up from last year but it's the best I can do. Unless noted as "new crop," items below are from the 2012 harvest.   Beaverton - Make Note.  Home Depot asked that I not make deliveries there anymore.  The new delivery location is the parking lot of Michael's Arts and Crafts on Western - just south of Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy.    Order deadline will be 5:00 Wednesday, June 19. Thanks, Dale Graff Deer Island Farms (503) 556-0524 Cell (503) 410-1720

Ward Potluck and Board Games Night

Ward Family,
On Friday, May 10th, Provident Living is hosting a potluck and games night at our building from 6:30 to 9pm.  Please bring a dish or two to share (no chips or store bought desserts).  Dishes could be something from your food storage, a new recipe you want to try, or a family favorite.  We aren't picky.  If you bring friends, bring enough food for them too.  We'll provide the plates, etc. and water to drink.  I'm thinking of making a yummy lentil dish that my family loves, is easy to make, and comes from my food storage.  My girls will probably make a dessert too.  I haven't decided what game to bring yet, come and you'll find out.  We hope to see you there!

Deer Island Farms

 

Hi, I will have fresh Yakima asparagus, cold storage apples, yams and potatoes available for delivery Saturday, April 27.  The asparagus grower is in the process of becoming a certified organic grower and has used no herbicides or pesticides on this planting of asparagus which is now two years old.  The asparagus will be very fresh since it will have been harvested in the morning the day before delivery. New delivery location - Aloha For those of you in the Aloha/Hillsboro area, I am adding a new delivery location in the parking lot of the movie theater that is at SW 234th and TV Highway.  This is probably closer to Hillsboro than Aloha but I am going to refer to it as the Aloha delivery location. Order deadline will be Wednesday, April 24 at 5:00 p.m. Thanks, Dale Graff Deer Island Farms (503) 556-0524 Cell (503) 410-1720

Zaycon Chicken

Zaycon is offering CHICKEN again.  It's a great price for some high quality boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  They come attached and you need to cut them apart and trim a little fat before you freeze them.  I like to cut some in strips and chunks before freezing to save time later.  It's $1.79 per pound in 40# boxes.  Those boxes are subdivided into 4 ten pound boxes if you are sharing with a friend.  The closest locations are Salem and Tigard.
