Longtime Customer, Deeply Disappointed…read more I've been a loyal customer of Frye Farms for over 15 years, but after my recent experience, I won't be going back. What happened was not only disappointing--it was downright disrespectful. There was a sign outside advertising 50% off fruit, so we asked a simple question about it. We were told the discount only applied to EBT cardholders. When we politely asked for clarification, the staff member looked us up and down and told us to leave, saying she never wanted our business again and that our question was "disgusting" To make things worse, they shorted us on our change and kicked us out before we could even address it. The staff member referred to us as "you people," which felt especially offensive and discriminatory--particularly since I'm Hispanic. It was a revealing moment that contradicted the inclusive image they seem to project. It feels like Frye Farms punishes people who work hard and pay out of pocket, while charging outrageous prices for basic produce. If you're hoping to be treated with respect while spending your hard-earned money, this is not the place. This business has changed, and sadly, not for the better. I strongly suggest taking your business somewhere you'll be treated with basic decency.

This is a family run operation that services the Medford area's farmer's markets with fresh…read morepasture-raised poultry, organic eggs, home-pressed olive oil, turkeys, and some organic produce. I visited this awesome little farm today (it's mid-April) with my children. They had a few frozen broilers left, so my mom and I each bought a few. She also bought 1 doz large, gorgeous eggs ($5), and we both got a bottle of olive oil. Margaret was so, so nice to us, showing us all around the well organized place (even though she kept apologizing for the messiness...? It's a FARM for heaven's sake, and it looked great to me!). My kids fed the chickens, tasted the miner's lettuce that grows like a weed all around there, and helped retrieve eggs from the nests. We tasted their delicious olive oil, available in 3 varieties. It is a little on the spendy side, BUT you must remember that everything is of the highest quality, organic feed is very expensive, and you're helping to support a small, unsubsidized farmer. The chickens were $4.75/lb and egg costs vary depending on the size you'd like ($5 for 1 doz large). The olive oil comes from Ken's dad's northern California grove. One has a peppery finish, one is more grassy flavored, and the third is a slightly less expensive blend of the two. If you bring your own bottle or jar they will take $1 off, and will adjust the price accordingly for the size of container. If you forget (as we did, being our first time), no biggie, but it'll cost you that $1. We paid $12 for a 500ml bottle, which I felt was a great deal even with the cost of the jar! The less expensive blend would've been $9 ($8 if you BYOJar). Look for them at the local farmer's markets or give a call and arrange a time to go visit their easily accessible farm.

Wax Skulls!…read more SITREP Should you find yourself in Medford, OR on a Thursday morning, DEFINITELY head on over to the Medford Armory, where - in the Armory's parking lot - you will find the Rogue Valley Growers & Crafters Market ("Rogue Market")! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=JZqbYnqxY1QMX_2gxbEpLA THE SETUP Like most Farmer's markets, Rogue Market has a lot of great produce - even floral - options, that are all spread out in nice spacious, roomy booths, with ample room between them so that people can stop, chat, compare items with each other, etc.: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=FTCIRkoEOfgnTes8qxp2KQ MARKET POPULARITY - BASED ON GREAT DISCOUNTS And where many markets I hit down here in California pay "lip service" to providing discounts from the main grocery store chains, Rogue Market actually has some pretty profound steals, such as these raspberries: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=MOEIewyb2w2KdoOszwzp8w My lovely hostess, Yelper GoGo M., took me around the market with her and I could see the low cost of many vegetables (onions, cucumbers, etc.) and fruit (melons, watermelons, berries, etc.) compared to what we saw in a couple of cursory trips to the local food chains. CHEEEEEESE! I was surprised to see SEVERAL cheese vendors on hand, hocking their tasty cheese wares! Usually at the Sacramento markets I hit in the Downtown grid, we are lucky to have just one. The cheeses were varied - from soft to hard, goat to cow - they were all over the board, with artisan quality: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=9TuPNBKt0eo_ZBGpLdoYBA And the vendors eager for us to try their samples - and to good effect: we bought several varieties. HOT FOOD VENDORS & FOOD TRUCK VENDORS Many of the produce sellers also provide some great hot food options. We enjoyed several vegetable & cheese "turnover" pockets that were absolutely delish, with options ranging from Mushroom or Southwestern, etc.: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=MOEIewyb2w2KdoOszwzp8w And yep - the Food Truck mania has reached Southern Oregon, including this one tasty Peruvian vendor with some great Spanish options. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=vsGAG6zJk2tBuwZljvUytw CRAFTS! But where Rogue Market really stands out from most standard farmer's markets is in it's craftwares. I DO have to give props to the Saturday morning Midtown Market in Sacramento, because that one comes closest to what I experienced here in Medford. In both scenarios, there are many different craftsman that have some exceptional quality products. THE BEES KNEES! One vendor that grabbed my eye was the gentlemen selling delicate wax figurines. They were pretty spectacular! My favorite would have to be the skulls, and there were several varieties of those: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rogue-valley-growers-and-crafters-market-medford?select=iMNspK2KwpIxAS6hNIlc5g THE LOWDOWN Rogue Market is a great stop on a Thursday morning when prowling about Medford, OR.

It is about 99% nice people, except for the guy at the mushroom booth who was really nasty to me for asking for a credit card receipt (I'm a bookkeeper), and I have seen him be nasty to others. He has lost my business. But it's a lot of fun otherwise, and I like to support the local market.

"$70? For pork??! You dumb bunny!" This, I suspect, is what my grandmother would have told me, had…read moreshe witnessed the scene. I stopped by the Holding Ranch (http://www.holdingranch.com/) booth at the market and came away $70 poorer, but rich beyond my wildest dreams in smoked maple bacon (cured nitrate-free with salt, brown sugar, dried maple syrup, & a concentrate of lemon, green tea, and celery), pork tenderloin, and Canadian-style back bacon (more on this later). So, if my grandmother were alive to judge, all I could do is invite her to dine with us this week, so that we could demonstrate the wonders of cooking with humanely-butchered farm-to-table products raised with supreme care, love, and attention. Does it solve all the ethical dilemmas of eating meat? Hardly. But I drive a car, too, even if I feel guilty for leaving behind a carbon footprint in my wake. At times like these, I feel the need for some pop cultural wisdom that only a Pig and a Rat engaged in Waiting for Godot style dialog can provide. I call, in other words, on Stephan P. of Santa Rosa, CA, for help. Here's the rat-pig exchange* in question, with the accompanying illustration here (http://media2.px.yelpcdn.com/photo/bUxF5ZzwOAZdPwk_Rn3Trg/l): Pig: Were you ever thrown out of a club? Rat: Plenty, why? Pig: Because that "Society of Cultured Pigs" group just booted me. Rat: They got word of the bacon thing, huh? Pig: ... But B.L.T.'s taste so darn good. Rat: They're too judgmental. I agree, Rat, I agree. That's the issue. Taste! Don't judge!! It is San Mateo on a Saturday. It's only a few minutes after 9 AM, but already the farmers' market is in full swing. Crowds line up by their favorite vendors, hoping to score something delicious and nutritious for their next week's worth of meals. We hadn't been to this particular market for several months, so I made a beeline for the Holding Ranch stand. They are from Shasta, and they raise some of the best cattle, lambs, chickens, and pigs in the world. But because they are a relatively modest-sized operation, and because their products are in such demand, they sell out fast. Especially the bacon and tenderloin, which they only bring to market after the Berkshire Hogs have lived a full life outdoors and are ready to be slaughtered (http://www.holdingranch.com/pages/pork.html). So I was shocked - shocked! - to discover that both bacon (in 2 styles) and tenderloin (a 2.5 lb. piece) were available. Price played second fiddle to a chance to indulge using a porkish palate to provide protein and taste variation in our largely vegetarian diet. Grandma, all I can say is that it was worth it. I'm with the Pig on this one! They DO taste so darn good. I present to you exhibits A(i), A(ii), B, & C: A(i): Grilled pork tenderloin dry rubbed with applewood smoked sea salt, cracked multicolor peppercorns, and fresh cinnamon, basted with pumpkin oil, apple cider and tarragon vinegars, lemon juice, Canadian Grade B maple syrup, and blue agave nectar; A(ii): Sourdough asiago cheese and rosemary corn-kernel biscuits sliced in two and filled up with thin-sliced cold tenderloin, fresh horseradish, Dijon mustard, radicchio, and frisée (eat your dirty sauce little heart out, Ike's!); B: Farmers' market BLTs with sprouted wheat whole grain toast, red, green, and yellow heirloom tomatoes, and microgreen mesclun; C: Winter wheat penne pasta with diced Canadian bacon "pancetta," baby spinach, rainbow chard, chopped tomato, garlic, Madeira cooking wine (from CA), Sonoma chevre, and grated Italian Parmesan. Mr. Pastis, I rest my case. Holding Ranch is guilty. Guilty of being so darn GOOD! That's some pig you've got there, my friend. Dedicated to Wilhelm Y., for his love of pork, and of 21st century Californian small farm culture, in all its many forms.

I purchased 1/4 beef from Holding Ranch about two months ago. I couldn't find anyone else to go in…read morewith me on a full carcass. I selected them after comparing prices at the four closest ranches and talking to each of them on email to find out about their operation. Prices for a quarter are $5.99/lb cut and wrapped. For a half, the cost is $5.49/lb cut and wrapped and, for a whole, the cost is $4.99/lb. There was a complete selection of cuts, all wrapped, vacuum sealed, and frozen. The only bones were the shanks, soup bones and ribs. No others. There was no porterhouse with a bone, instead it was cut and packaged separately as the New York and the fillet. I think it was about 350 lbs in total, with about a third being ground beef. Took up almost exactly a top freezer space. I'm very happy with the cuts, quality and taste, although you really do need to learn how to cook grass fed beef differently than corn fed. They also sell into farmer's markets in the bay area. They are good people!
