We have grown meadowfoam for over 30 years and hold regular, comprehensive grower meetings to ensure that all members understand and support the cooperative's mission. Additionally, our cooperative dedicates a staff agronomist to support, monitor, and maximise sustainable crop production. Tucked between the Oregon Coast and Cascade mountain ranges, the Willamette Valley is located in the northwest region of Oregon. It is a valley known for rich fertile soif which resulted from vast ice age floods coming down the Columbia River Gorge. The combination of this fertile soif, mild summers, and high levels of precipitation have made the Willamette Valley one of the largest seed crop producing regions in the world. In addition to meadowfoam and daikon radish, our growers cultivate numerous other crops including grass seed, cabbage, lentils, turnips and kale.
