Rhubarb

Local rhubarb

Look for the first organic rhubarb of the season toward the bottom half of the month from Pacific Northwest growers in Oregon.

We’re also likely to see non-organic rhubarb come in a bit earlier from greenhouse operations that help get an early jump on the season.

Local, organic produce

  • Pixie tangerines
  • Bartlett pears
  • Red Bartlett pears
  • D’Anjou pears
  • Baby turnips
  • Russian kale
