Searchable guide at oregonfb.org The bulk of Oregon’s Bounty magazine is dedicated to connecting consumers with family farmers and ranchers who grow and sell an immense variety of agriculture products: veggies, fruit, meat, cheese, wine, Christmas trees, CSAs, flowers, and hundreds more. Also listed here are farms that offer activities or events open to the public, including u-pick fields and on-farm festivals. Searching for something specific? Visit Oregon’s Bounty at oregonfb.org and do a search for “blueberries” or “pumpkins” within a mile radius of your starting point. Not sure when your favorite fruits and vegetables are at their peak? Check out our What’s in season? calendar on p. 20 to know when local produce is at its freshest. Besides raising the food we eat every day, many farmers and ranchers also are active in their communities. Molly McCargar of Marion County Farm Bureau is a great example. Her farm donates crops and raises money to help support hungry Oregonians. She’s also passionate about agriculture education and works with local schools to help kids learn about the people and processes behind their food. Farm Bureau is really proud of the Summer Ag Institute. This year SAI celebrates 25 years of educating teachers about agriculture and how they can incorporate ag into their classrooms. This spring, the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture presented SAI with an Excellence in Education award. This is the second time SAI has earned this prestigious honor. Learn more about SAI on p. 10. No organization is a more respected, effective advocate for Oregon’s family farmers and ranchers than Farm Bureau. OFB believes that all types of agriculture production — organic, conventional, biotech, and no-tech — are needed to meet consumer demand and keep farms in business. Do your part to keep Oregon agriculture thriving by supporting local farmers and ranchers. This guide is a great place to get you started. Enjoy! 1 A farmer on a mission M O L LY M C C A R G A R ’ S PA S S I O N S A R E FA R M I N G , F E E D I N G P E O P L E , AND SHARING AG’S STORY By Anne Marie Moss W hile Molly McCargar may not look like what you’d imagine the “typical” farmer to be — a lively, under-40 mom with four daughters — her grandfather, Lester Pearmine Jr., always knew where her destiny lay. “When I was 16 and driving a tractor around, discing the field or something, grandpa waved me down. And I thought, ‘Oh no, what did I do?’” says McCargar, a member of Marion County Farm Bureau. “He said, ‘You know, I’ve been watching you. Out of all the grandkids, I think you will be the one to come back and run the farm.’ And I said, ‘Whatever, Grandpa. I’m a 16-year-old girl, and I’m going out on a date tonight.’ But he was right.” McCargar and her brother Ernie Pearmine are the fourth generation to run Pearmine Farms in Gervais. Her involvement started 9 years ago, when her dad, Ron Pearmine, asked her to help with the books part time. “Now my 20 hours a month on the farm has turned into 24 hours a day,” laughs McCargar. While her dad is still involved as 2 Examples of Pearmine Farms’ environmental stewardship include converting a 35-acre field into a wetland, conservation tillage to reduce soil erosion and runoff, reducing fuel use with GPS technology on equipment, modifying its irrigation systems for greater energy efficiency, providing wildlife habitat, and achieving Food Alliance and Global GAP certifications. a “high-paid consultant,” the major decisions, management, and farming responsibilities fall to her and Ernie. Their core crops are green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, and sweet corn, which the farm has raised for NORPAC, an Oregon-based food processor, since 1974. “Almost everything we grow ends up in a finished product in some shape or form,” says McCargar. If you see canned Santiam or frozen Flav-R-Pac vegetables at the grocery store, chances are the produce came from Pearmine Farms. The 1,200-acre farm also has cherry orchards and fields of grass seed, wheat, and clover. And making its debut last year, for the first time in the farm’s 79-year history, were strawberries. OREGON FARM BUREAU “My dad said he’d never grow strawberries, but I’ve learned since having children, never say never. Ever,” says McCargar. “We’re always looking at our crop rotation and crop plan, and considering what would work. It depends on the acres we need for NORPAC, our own crop history and data, and watching market trends.” While the farm primarily uses conventional production methods, meaning crop-protection tools are used, the Pearmine portfolio includes 20 acres of certified organic vegetables. And the tentative plan is to expand this by 30 to 35 acres. “It helps people realize that conventional and organic crops can coexist and be done side by side,” says McCargar. “What I say is that there’s no right or wrong way to raise crops, it’s just that everyone should have access to food. The only thing wrong with our food system is that people don’t.” and distributes it to emergency food networks in Oregon and southwest Washington. The amount donated depends on the farm’s average yield per acre for the year. Typically, one acre of corn equals 114,000 cans. For any remaining cruciferous vegetables, Pearmine Farms partners with Salem Harvest. “After we meet our contract for cauliflower or broccoli, we call Salem Harvest and a huge army of volunteers will come out to pick,” says McCargar. Half of the group’s harvest goes to Marion-Polk Food Share, and volunteers get to keep the other half. “In 2012, we donated over 26,000 pounds of food just through Salem Harvest,” she says. “There’s still value in those crops if we found a market for them. But there’s also a need. After we meet our goals for the farm, we help feed hungry Oregonians.” A farmer’s mission: feeding people As a farmer, McCargar makes her living raising a product essential to all of us — food — which in and of itself is a major contribution to society. But the fact that there are hungry families living in the middle of the agriculturally abundant Willamette Valley doesn’t sit well with her. And McCargar is the type of person who, after finding a cause she’s passionate about, takes action. Every year, Pearmine Farms dedicates one acre of green beans and one acre of corn to Farmers Ending Hunger, an organization that collects food donations from farmers and ranchers, processes it, Searchable guide at oregonfb.org Molly McCargar is the fourth generation to run Pearmine Farms in Gervais. 3 The farm’s “Another Pumpkin Patch” (see listing on p. 33) also dedicates all of its proceeds to Farmers Ending Hunger and Marion-Polk Food Share. The patch has raised more than $5,000 and collected hundreds of cans of food for these organizations. Siblings Molly McCargar and Ernie Pearmine in the office of Pearmine Farms. They share all decision-making, management, and farming responsibilities. “People also ask, ‘What’s your sustainability program?’ Well, our sustainability program is making sure the fifth generation can farm and keep it going. Farmers are sustainable in terms of their soil management, water quality, everything that we’re doing — because if we weren’t, the ground wouldn’t give back. So every farmer is sustainable in one way or another.” And at the end of the day, farmers and ranchers have to eat, too. The true face of “Big Ag” Despite the fact that 97 percent of all American farms and ranches are family owned and operated, there’s a misconception that most farms are run by huge, heartless, even dangerous mega-conglomerates. At 1,200 acres, an incorporated business, and with conventional and organic production, Pearmine Farms fits squarely within the definition of “Big Ag.” “All the time” is how frequently McCargar says she shares her story as an Oregon farmer when she hears blanket anti-agriculture comments or sees posts on social media. 4 “People are quick to start off with their definition of ‘Big Ag’ and ‘corporate farmers.’ And then I say, ‘Well, you’re looking at one,’” she says. “I explain that we’re a corporation because the IRS requires us to be something. And we’re also a multi-generational family farm with a brother and sister making day-today decisions. Farming is what I do for a living. You can trust that we are feeding you in the best, most efficient, healthiest way we possibly can. Once you start giving people a perspective of what ‘Big Ag’ really is — I think most people have an ‘Ah-ha’ moment. “I have to feed our kids. We live in what we do. We’re not going to do anything that we think is going to harm us in any way. So why would I do that to you, the consumer? When you kind of take away whatever that barrier is and make ‘Big Ag’ a little more real, a lot of people get a better idea,” says McCargar. “It’s Farmer Molly!” A former middle school teacher and coach, and a proud Oregon farmer, the fact that agriculture education is one of McCargar’s many passions is no surprise. Soon after it premiered OREGON’S BOUNTY FARM STAND GUIDE Photo by Pearmine Farms a few years ago, “Another Pumpkin Patch” became a favorite field trip destination for teachers and students. “The kids come out, do the corn maze, and then we’ll do a little educational activity, maybe talk about the farm, or the difference between squash and pumpkin, or what’s in a pumpkin pie. One fall we had over 1,000 kids,” she says. McCargar also is a regular visitor to Gervais schools, participating in “Farm Days” to teach students about the people and processes behind the food they eat every day. “At this point, when I walk into the school, it’s either ‘Hey, it’s Farmer Molly — or it’s Gracey/Lily/Addy’s mom,’“ she says. Photo by Molly McCargar McCargar has four siblings, and now she’s the mother of four daughters: Gracey, age 10; Lily, age 8; Addy, age 6; and Kalley, age 19 months. Searchable guide at oregonfb.org After Pearmine Farms finishes harvesting the broccoli it needs for NORPAC (pictured), McCargar contacts Salem Harvest to have volunteers pick remaining crops. Half of this second harvest is donated to Marion-Polk Food Share. McCargar’s next goal: Getting Gervais FFA involved with Pearmine Farms’ pumpkin patch. The plan is to have students help transplant young pumpkin plants from the greenhouse into the field, along with other responsibilities. They’ll earn community service credit, as well as gain some valuable on-farm agriculture and business experience. Girl power While McCargar is the fourth generation to run her family’s farm, she’s the first woman officially in that role. And, as the mother of four girls, the next generation will most likely involve at least one female farmer. “I had someone ask me one day, ‘Oh you have four girls. Are you going to try for a boy? No? Well, who’s going to take over the farm?,’“ she says. “I kind of looked at him and went, ‘Well who do you think is running the farm now?’“ 5 But there’s no denying that McCargar defies the stereotype of a typical farmer — and in fact, she defies data from the recently released 2012 Ag Census. It revealed that the average age of an Oregon farmer is 60 and the number of female farm owner/ operators in Oregon dropped a whopping 15 percent from 2007. However, McCargar sees both trends slowly changing in the north Willamette Valley. “I think in this area, the number of female farmers is on the upswing,” she says. And in the past 8 years, she’s seen more and more young faces at NORPAC grower meetings. But just how does McCargar manage running a farm, being a mother of four, and serving her community in myriad ways? “Well, I have a good support network,” she says. “Having my husband Linsday, my mom, and now my dad, because he’s a little more retired, really helps out. Basically, it takes a farm village!” Why Farm Bureau is important “Farm Bureau is the eyes and ears for its members at the state and national legislature,” says Molly McCargar of Marion County Farm Bureau. “If we didn’t have an organization like Farm Bureau, farmers and ranchers would have to spend all of their time at the Capitol, instead of farming and feeding people.” This spring, McCargar did take time away from the farm to testify at a state legislative committee hearing. She spoke in favor of an OFB-supported bill, SB 1541, the Crop Donation Tax Credit. “Being there for the crop donation tax credit was important to me and my family and my farm,” she says. “I spoke as a mom, a farmer, and a school board member in a district that has such a high free-and-reducedlunch population right in the heart of Oregon agriculture.” The bill was designed to offset some of the costs farmers and ranchers accrue when they donate crops to a charitable organization, costs like harvest labor, crop cleaning, and 6 From left, Marion County Farm Bureau President John Zielinski, Molly McCargar of Marion County Farm Bureau, OFB’s Ian Tolleson, and Phillip Kennedy-Wong of Oregon Food Bank testified in support of the Crop Donation Tax Credit bill this session. storage. Many ag producers already donate at a loss to their business. The bill passed, and the hope is that even more ag operations will contribute vegetables, fruit, and meat to help feed hungry Oregonians. As a grassroots organization, Farm Bureau relies on its volunteer leaders at the county and state level to guide its public policy positions and share their personal stories. Nothing impacts legislators more than to hear from a family farmer or rancher about why an issue or bill is important. Learn more at oregonfb.org.

O F A G ON ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY O FB congratulates the Summer Agriculture Institute for receiving the 2014 Excellence in Education award by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the Summer Ag Institute (SAI) educates Oregon K-12 teachers about agriculture and its application in the classroom. The honor is part of ODA’s Agricultural Progress Awards, which celebrate progress in agriculture made through partnerships between business, higher education, and state government. SAI was one of five innovators saluted at the 22nd annual Agricultural Progress Awards Dinner on March 12. Impressively, this is the second time ODA has presented SAI with the Excellence in Education award. “It’s an honor to be recognized by the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture, particularly since SAI is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year,” said Jana 10 SAI is a three-credit, week-long, graduate-level course offered through Oregon State University for K-12 educators with little or no agricultural background. Dick, coordinator of the SAI in La Grande. “We get such great feedback from teachers who participate. Not only do they gain a lot of great lesson plan ideas, but they often start to question popular misconceptions about agriculture after they learn about it first-hand and interact with family farmers and ranchers.” A project of the Oregon Agricultural Education Foundation and supported by Farm Bureau, SAI is a three-credit, week-long, graduate-level class through Oregon State University that educates K-12 teachers with little or no background in agriculture. The goal of SAI is to help educators use agriculture as a context for teaching standard subjects like science, math, social studies, and English. Current, factual, and scientific information about agriculture is presented, OREGON FARM BUREAU “All the tours were so eye-opening. Everything dispelled myths I had held as true for a lifetime.” Middle school teacher & 2013 SAI participant and participants are provided with educational materials to help them incorporate what they’ve learned into their classrooms. Since its first summer in 1989, SAI has enrolled hundreds of Oregon teachers with the goal of helping to promote the importance of agriculture to society. Through SAI, teachers are given first-hand experiences in the agriculture industry. The action-packed week includes field trips to farms and ranches, tours of processing plants, and lectures and hands-on labs taught by university professors. The highlight of the week is an overnight stay on a working farm where the teacher has an opportunity to meet a real farm or ranch family. There are two sessions of SAI each summer: one held in Corvallis, June 22-27, and a second held in La Grande, July 13-18. Enrollment cost for a graduate-level, three-credit session is a great deal at $600. SAI provides a working environment for participants to experience current, factual, scientific information about agriculture, and to learn what it takes for farmers to be successful in today’s global economy. Matt Wood, president of Umatilla-Morrow County Farm Bureau, gave a tour of his wheat farm to teachers attending SAI last summer.
