Clatsop and Tillamook Counties
Clatsop and Tillamook Counties have a rich and diverse agricultural and fishing history. Once the counties were dotted with a multitude of small farms, canneries and docks, but in modern times these counties have seen a decline in the all of these areas. Despite challenges, small to mid-size locally owned farms, fishers and food production companies still operate here, and we are also seeing an increase in the number of beginning farmers throughout our region. We hope this guide will help our community take a step towards community food security. Requesting local products supports our economy by keeping dollars in our region.
The USDA calculates that farmers receive less than 19 cents for every dollar that consumers spend on food.
The remainder of the dollar goes to other sectors of the food industry, to pay for labor, transportation, energy, packaging, and advertising.
Buying locally reduces these costs and returns more of the food dollar to the deserving farmer.

We recognize that we share this land with the local wildlife, and are committed to farming in balance with the wild world around us.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? CSA is a system in which consumers receive food directly from the farmers who produce it. But unlike a
farmers' market system, supporters of community agriculture actually share in part of the farmers' risk. That is,
they pay in advance for a share of the farm’s products. Crops that do well will be abundant in the share, crops
that do less well will be less abundant. For their part, the farmers have a stable income that doesn't depend on
sunny weather on farmer's market days. Contact the following North Coast CSA Farms to inquire about
purchasing one for you and your family while supporting your local food economy:

Buy in Season!
Finding local, in-season foods may seem like a challenge, but it’s easier than you might think.
Visit farm stands, join a CSA, shop at farmers markets and make connections with people who produce local foods!
Eating out-of-season food is an easy way to rack up a huge carbon footprint — either it’s been transported from far away or it’s been grown in an energy-intensive climate-controlled structure. Avoid foods that aren’t in season.
Canning and freezing are time-honored methods of preserving seasonal foods for later enjoyment.
Buying seasonally also provides an exciting opportunity to try new foods and to experiment with seasonal recipes – and it simply tastes better.

North Coast Food Web’s Mobile Gardens Project: Gardens for everyone!
In our area, one in four of our residents is eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and a shockingly high number of our children are eligible for free and reduced meals through the schools.As North Coast Food Web seeks to support and strengthen the food network (production, accessibility, self-reliance etc.) in our region, we are always searching for new outreach and educational tools…hence- MOBILE GARDENS! We are creating mobile organic gardens in used/discarded (always legitimately donated) shopping carts. Carts will be organized in a “mobile garden library” and loaned out to families, schools, retirement homes, markets and other community entities for a season at a time with instructions, materials, and support provided to grow food. The scale and mobility of the project suits our community’s size and limited access to sunlight, and it is our hope that these factors, combined with the charismatic nature of the project, will promote community involvement, access to fresh food, physical fitness, education, empowerment, and stewardship.

Buy from a Local Farmer!Support your local economy:
• The USDA estimates that off-farm costs account for 80% of every food dollar spent in the U.S.
• Buying directly from farmers enables them to keep 80 to 90 cents of each dollar spent
• Produce in the U.S. travels an average of 1,500 miles before it reaches your plate
• Buying locally reduces shipping cost and fossil fuel use
• Locally grown food is harvested when ripe; it is fresher and more flavorful• Buying local food enhances economic development by keeping more of the consumers’
food dollars in the local economy

Food Guide Definitions
We wish to thank Meyer Memorial Trust, and our community partners from both Clatsop and Tillamook Counties for their assistance with this guide.
Farm-direct: Sales made directly from a farmer to a customer. Farm Direct Nutrition Program (FDNP): Distributes coupons to low income families enrolled in WIC and Senior. These coupons are used to purchase fresh fruit, and vegetables directly from authorized farmers at farm stands and farmers markets. Food Security: When all citizens are able to obtain a safe, personally acceptable, nutritious diet through a sustainable food system that maximizes healthy choices, community self-reliance, and equal access for everyone. Grass-fed, Pasture-fed: When animals are provided a diet of freshly grazed pastured during the growing season and stored grasses during the winter months or drought conditions. Organic: Label used under the authority of the Organic Foods Production Act that established national standards for the production and handling of foods labeled as organic. Permaculture: (PERMAnent agriCULTURE or PERMAnent CULTURE) is a sustainable design system stressing the harmonious interrelationship of humans, plants, animals and the Earth. SNAP: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program. SNAP recipients use their EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) Card to purchase eligible foods from grocery stores and farmers markets who participate in SNAP. SNAP benefits support low-income consumers to purchase more healthy foods for their families. USDA-inspected meat processing: Meat that is slaughtered and processed in a USDA-inspected facility for sale to the general public. Value Added: Value added agriculture is a process of increasing the economic value and consumer appeal of an agricultural commodity. In simpler terms, it is a change in the physical state or form of the product (such as milling wheat into flour or making strawberries into jam). WIC Fruit & Vegetable Program: WIC stands for Women, Infants & Children and is a program (like FDNP) that distributes vouchers to low-income families enrolled in WIC. Vouchers are used to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables directly from authorized farmers and grocery stores year-round.
