Thanks to our rich landscape and varied
climate, Oregon boasts 14 agricultural
crops that are Number 1 in terms of U.S.
production, three at the Number 2 spot,
12 at Number 3, and four at Number 4.
Not bad for a state with approximately
38,553 family farms.
Of these, fall and winter bring out some
favorite seasonal items that we eagerly
await all year. Take hazelnuts, for
example. Our official State Nut, Oregon
grows almost all of the hazelnuts in the
entire United States. Hazelnuts are grown
on trees and start to fall from the branches
around the end of September, signaling
harvest time. Specially designed tractors
sweep the nuts from the ground, and they
are cleaned and shipped to distributors.
This fall, when you sprinkle hazelnuts on
your salad, include them into a luscious
dessert, or add them to your Thanksgiving
stuffing, remember that you have Oregon
growers to thank for their delicious flavor.
Christmas trees are another commodity
where Oregon reigns supreme. Christmas
trees are a crop just like any other, and
when one field of trees is harvested,
another field is planted for future holidays.
The Beaver State is Number 1 in the
country for Christmas tree growth, and we
can take pride in the Noble or Douglas Firs
we purchase directly from a Farm Bureau
member this winter.
In the Oregon’s Bounty Fall Harvest Guide
in the following pages, farms that offer
Christmas trees, pumpkins, harvest festivals,
and wine are indicated with colored
squares so readers can locate them easily.
Other fall and winter goodies where
Oregon tops U.S. production include
cranberries, onions, and Austrian winter
peas. There are many more farm-fresh
veggies, meats, and other items perfect for
warm, hearty meals available from now
through the spring. Please continue to enjoy
Oregon’s agricultural bounty from the many
Farm Bureau members listed here, starting

Passion for
ag education
culminates during
fall harvest
By Anne Marie Moss
The Renken Farms Pumpkin Patch is open on weekends throughout
October. This fall is looking like a great year for glorious gourds.
T hro u g ho u t O cto b e r , v i s i tors w i l l f l oc k to
R e n k e n F a rms i n T h e D a l l e s for a g r e a t k i c k off to O r e g o n ’ s p u mp k i n s e a so n
But you certainly won’t find anyone
“old” running the farm. Although the
family operation is helmed by its
fifth generation (once removed), the
proprietors — and Wasco County
Farm Bureau members — Kim and
Greg Johnson are a cheerful, energetic couple who take care of two
teenagers (Laura and Mark), multiple
crops, and myriad (and quite vocal)
barnyard animals.
Through Farm Bureau, Kim has
demonstrated a passion for agriculture education for decades, engaging her community and encouraging
elementary school students to tour her
family business. Throughout the year,
2
an estimated 500 kids will venture out
to the farm, established in 1863, to
see first-hand a pig pen, goat corral,
chicken coop, cherry orchards, and a
lush garden.
“It’s a great opportunity to show
kids, even the ones who live in a rural
area but who still may not know much
about agriculture, what farm life is
like,” said Kim. “That’s what we try
to communicate, a little about ag as
a whole. Families also like to come
out to see us, and we remind people
where their food comes from. It’s all
grown or raised somewhere!”
Photos on page 2 from Renken Farms
A
visit to Renken Farms is like
the favorite schoolyard tune
“Old MacDonald Had a
Farm” come to life. As you
stroll through a series of well-kept
barnyards, you will most definitely
hear a “cluck-cluck” here and an
“oink-oink” there, on this bucolic
148-year-old farm tucked in a cherryorchard-lined valley in The Dalles.
The 2011 Renken Farms Harvest Fest is scheduled for
Saturday, Oct. 15. Check on pg. 22 in this Oregon’s
Bounty Fall Harvest Guide for times and location. Make
a scarecrow, pick a pumpkin, take a hay ride, or simply
enjoy a day in the country.
O r e g on ’ s B oun t y
fall harvest Guide
Through the month of October,
weekends on Renken Farms come
alive with visitors of all ages searching for the ideal squash or perfect
pumpkin from a hearty patch, which
is expected to be particularly bountiful
this fall.
But the seasonal fun will culminate
with the 6th annual Harvest Fest,
scheduled for Saturday, October 15,
(see pg. 22 of this guide for times and
location). The Renken Farms Harvest
Fest is a great day trip for families,
featuring scarecrow making, a hay
slide, tractor rides, pony rides, pumpkin bowling and launching, a petting
zoo, carnival rides, music, entertainment, and innumerable tasty treats.
And the event, expected to attract
thousands, is all for a great cause: the
Mid-Columbia Health Foundation.
“Harvest Fest has become a major
fundraiser for the health foundation,
and it’s a great way for us to give
back to our community as well as
expose people of all ages to agriculture,” said Kim. “It’s all just about
celebrating the fall harvest.”
Harvests throughout the year
Besides the Harvest Fest and the
pumpkin patch throughout Octo-
ber, Renken Farms shares its bounty
directly with consumers through a
booth at The Dalles Farmers Market.
It features sweet cherries, a variety
of garden-grown vegetables (carrots,
peas, lettuce, etc.), and free-range
chicken meat and eggs. The farm
also sells goats for meat, as well as
goats and pigs alive for 4-H kids
needing livestock for animal husbandry projects. The future may hold
a market in some of the pigs for meat
and also for the small herd of Scottish
Highlander cows on the farm.
Showing dairy goats has become
a new family project, with most of
the Johnsons helping to display the
animals at county and state fairs. In
fact, this summer at the Oregon State
Fair, Mark won the 4-H Intermediate
Dairy Goat Showman award.
While walking through the various
pastures at the Johnsons’ farm, the
animals may make a lot of noise,
but they are manageable enough in
number that almost all of them have
a name. For example, as a way to
spark the interest and imagination of
school children who visit, the goats
are given monikers with special
themes. This year was all about
candy. There’s Jelly Bean, Milky Way,
Greg and Kim
Johnson chose the
name “Renken”
Farms after Greg’s
great-grandparents
and grandparents
because “ ‘Johnsons’
are a dime a dozen,”
he said. From left,
the fifth (and sixth)
generations to run the
family farm are Mark,
Greg, Kim, and Laura
Johnson — and about
a dozen curious goats.
3
Mr. Goodbar, Lemon Drop, Dove,
and a few other sweeties that delight
many a youngster.
While some of the animals are
raised for meat, there are a few that
are designated as “retired” and have
become lifelong pets. One example
is Sweat Pea, a massive 7-year-old
sow that the Johnsons were given
after a family of 4-H students were
finished raising her as part of an
educational project. The one condition was that Sweat Pea would never
be sent to market. She may look
intimidating as she waddles and
grunts her way toward you, but she’s
a sweetheart and has become one of
the family.
“We actually have a number of
4-H ‘retired’ animals on the farm,”
laughs Kim.
Whether raised for meat, eggs, or
pets, all of the Johnsons’ livestock are
treated well, with the utmost care and
respect. Many of the animals are fed
alfalfa grown on a nearby sloped
field, which during Harvest Fest, is
transformed into the famous “hay
slide.” “This way we know exactly
what we’re feeding our livestock,
and ultimately what we’re eating,”
said Kim.
While Greg handles most
of the horticulture side,
the rest of the family,
including Kim and Mark,
help care for the animals,
which include meat
and dairy goats,
chickens, pigs, and
Scottish Highland cows.

Renken Farms’ primary crop is sweet cherries,
which are hand-picked over the summer. Greg
takes a look at a recent harvest before the fruit is
shipped to a co-op.
While some of the Johnsons’ crops
are sold directly to consumers, a sizeable portion of the business is geared
toward commercial sales. There are
about 130 acres of sweet cherries
grown on the orchards surrounding
the farm. “We have a large variety
of cherries — Bings, Rainers, Royal
Anns, etc. — which helps us through
the season and gets us into different
marketing times,” explains Greg.
The majority of the fruit is sold via
a co-op.
A true Farm Bureau family
Greg and Kim Johnson have dedicated many years to Farm Bureau,
advocating for the betterment of
Oregon family farmers and ranchers in the public, through events and
tours on the farm, and in the political
arena, working with legislators and
speaking out on behalf of critical
agricultural issues.
In the 1980s, both were very
active in the Wasco County Farm
Bureau. Ultimately, Greg was elected
to represent the statewide OFB Young
Farmers & Ranchers Committee and
its work promoting the next genera-
tion of ag producers around Oregon.
He also earned a position on the
OFB Board of Directors. As a winner
of an OFB State Discussion Meet,
Greg and Kim were able to travel to
the American Farm Bureau Annual
Convention so he could participate
in the National YF&R Discussion
Contest. After that, Greg served a
term on the national YF&R Committee. Today, while still a member of
Wasco County Farm Bureau, Greg
serves as chair of the Oregon Cherry
Growers organization.
For her part, beyond constantly
planning and volunteering at various
Farm Bureau events, Kim served as
chair of the OFB Women’s Advisory
Council for four years. This honor
also secured her a spot on the state
OFB Board of Directors, working
with members from different regions
across the state.
Their daughter Laura “was raised
in Farm Bureau” attending monthly
county meetings and events along
with her parents and lending a hand
when she could.
“Farm Bureau is a grassroots
organization that helps farming and
ranching families get out and tell our
side of the story and promote agriculture, which is really important to
us,” said Kim. “Frankly, there are also
a lot of great discount programs for
being a Farm Bureau member, which
come in handy.” (See full list of OFB
member benefit programs on pg. 16.)
Said Kim, “Basically Farm Bureau
is like one big family, and we’ve
gained a lot from it.”

griculture is perhaps the most
sustainable industry in Oregon, playing a crucial role in
our economy, culture, and landscape
for more than 200 years. The Century
Farm & Ranch Program celebrates
those families who have worked the
same land for at least 100 years —
and some for more than 150 years.
To date, 1,128 farms have stayed in
business for more than a century, and
23 have reached the sesquicentennial mark.
Enjoy this fall favorite from Paula
Bangs of Lane County Farm Bureau.
Her family farm was established by
Frederick and Daisy Bangs in 1903.

Paula’s Butternut Squash Soup
@iStockphoto.com/Sarsmis
The Century Farm & Ranch program
offers Eating It Up in Eden, a wonderful compilation of favorite recipes
from the families who have grown
their own food for generations.
Regional Index
4 or 5 cups butternut squash, peeled
and chunked into 1- to 2-inch cubes
4 cups chicken broth (or just enough to
barely cover squash)
1 large shallot, minced fine
1 tablespoon butter
½ to 1 cup low-fat sour cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
(optional)
2 pieces bacon, fried, drained, and
crumbled
Green onions, chopped (optional)
Combine squash and broth and bring
to a boil. Meanwhile, sauté shallot in
butter 5 to 7 minutes, until translucent,
and add to the squash. When squash
is boiling, cover and turn heat down to
low and simmer for 1 hour until squash
is very tender.
Using immersion blender (or use regular
blender, blending in batches), blend
soup until smooth. Add sour cream, salt
and pepper, and optional cheese. Stir
until cheese is melted, but do not boil.
Top with bacon and optional green
onions. Serves 4.

Find more value. Owning an exotic car that goes zero to sixty in a heartbeat
would no doubt be exhilarating. For that same feeling on a grander level, you
could use a fraction of those dollars to give hundreds of kids the educational
support they need to really accelerate. The Oregon Community Foundation
can help you create a charitable fund for the causes you care most about.

T
he American Farm Bureau offers great resources for
kids and adults to learn more about agriculture and
how it enriches their daily lives. Each of the following
is accessible at the OFB website, oregonfb.org
— or in the case of Foodie News, also via email from OFB
(send a request to [email protected]).
For kids & families: My American Farm Games
Solve a mystery, learn about the food groups, and become
a chef — all while learning about agriculture.
The My American Farm project offers 13 fun, interactive
games for kids grades 3 to 5 to help them learn about the
food farmers grow, what farmers do to protect the environment, the life cycles of plants and animals, and much more!
The site also features family activities and book ideas to
continue the learning offline. And for teachers, there are
excellent lesson plans and resources to help put games and
projects involving agriculture to use in the classroom.
For adults with
discerning tastes: Foodie News
Created especially for aficionados
of exceptional food and drink, the
Foodie News Blog at oregonfb.org
offers the latest in culinary trends and how discriminating tastes affect the food
that farmers and ranchers produce, market, and share with the community.
Recent topics on Foodie News: Back-to-school food trends for lunches, the
increase of kids’ food allergies, how mead (honey wine) is making a comeback, the latest uses of fresh culinary herbs, and all about CSAs (communitysupported agriculture). Find out what’s hot and happening in the world of
chefs, top restaurants, and the agriculture community.
Sign up for a bimonthly Foodie News Briefs email sent from Oregon Farm
Bureau by sending your name, county, and email address to Anne Marie Moss
at [email protected].
The audio Foodiecast scans the nation’s food scene to talk with leading producers, chefs, marketers, industry representatives, and consumers to bring you
the latest in food trends. Listen in! Or you can read (and print, if you’d like) the
monthly Foodie Newsletter. All versions are available for you at oregonfb.org!

What is Farm
Bureau, exactly?
Keeping Oregon green and
sh a r i n g O r e g o n ’ s b o u n t y
O
regon Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general agriculture organization, representing about 8,000 family farmers and ranchers
who raise everything from cattle to hazelnuts, wine grapes to
pumpkins, sheep to potatoes.
But we also are proud to have many more members who aren’t directly connected to agriculture.
These are people in urban areas all over the state who play an important
role in keeping family agriculture sustainable and viable — and who also get
to take advantage of superb membership discount programs, including services from COUNTRY Financial, T-Mobile, Choice and Wyndam Hotels, Budget and Avis car rentals, Grainger, Lands End, and others listed on page 16.
Every year, Farm Bureau members also receive:
• An award-winning Oregon’s Bounty Calendar
($10 value)
Oregon’s
Bounty
2011 Calendar
Oregon Farm Bureau also helps:
• Non-farm members connect with
family farmers and ranchers through
the Oregon’s Bounty guides (printed
and online at oregonfb.org), a
Foodie News blog at oregonfb.org,
fun online ag games at oregonfb.
org, Ag Fest in Salem, county fairs,
Facebook (facebook.com/ofbinfo),
Twitter (twitter.com/orefarmbureau),
and YouTube (youtube.com/oregonfarmbureau).
OFB Board member Dean
McAllister of Wasco
County helps teach kids
about agriculture during
Ag Fest in Salem.
• Farm and ranch families keep Oregon green and remain good caretakers
of land, water, and animals.
• Connect farmers with charities such as Farmers Ending Hunger and the
Ronald McDonald House.
• Preserve Oregon’s admirable agricultural heritage through the OFB Century
Farm & Ranch Program.
• Provide more than $70,000 per year in scholarships to students from across
the entire state.
• Educate teachers through the Summer Ag Institute.
• Farm and ranch families keep the land, water, and production tools they
need to raise the highest-quality and safest food possible.

So what is Farm Bureau, exactly?
First established in Oregon in 1919, Farm Bureau is a grassroots, nonprofit
organization that represents the interests of family farmers and ranchers in the
public and policymaking arenas. Our goals are to keep agriculture thriving for
future generations, expand its economic opportunity and viability, and educate
society about why ag is important.
As a grassroots organization, the state Board of Directors and all County
Farm Bureaus are comprised of volunteer leaders — family farmers and ranchers who take time away from their field or livestock to
make a difference for their industry and way of life.

From O r e gon Far m Bur eau
With Oregon roots dating back to 1919, Oregon Farm Bureau was
established as a statewide organization in Umatilla County in 1932. With
over 8,000 member families professionally engaged in the industry and
a total membership of over 61,000 Oregon families, Farm Bureau is the
state’s largest general agriculture organization.
Virtually every aspect of public policy touches family agriculture in
some way. Farm Bureau employs a time-tested, open, democratic annual
grassroots process to reach its public policy positions. Members in all 36
Oregon counties then work to implement these objectives in the public
policy arena. The ultimate aim of this process is the survival and success of
the family farm and ranch in Oregon.
Thank you for supporting Oregon’s family farms and ranches with your
membership in Farm Bureau.
