Organically Grown Company

Farm founder Michelle Week, of Sinixt ancestry, shares her perspective: “I feel like a steward, not an owner, of the farm. The plants are the bosses; I’m just the caretaker. The focus of the farm is to contribute to our region’s food sources and uphold Native food sovereignty.” November is Native American Heritage Month, a time especially to highlight Indigenous peoples and their deep connections between land, culture and food. At x̌ast sq̓it, or Good Rain Farm, that connection is alive in every seed planted and every meal shared. OGC gave a Mission Fund grant to Good Rain Farm in 2025. They plan to use it to support payroll and work on projects on the new farmland.

“Nature is the real thing. It never sells out, it’s always true, and young people are looking for that authenticity. People want the next new thing, but soil and nature, they’re just forever authentic, you know?” - James Cassidy, Senior Instructor at OSU. On a patch of Oregon State University land in Corvallis, the OSU Organic Growers Club is cultivating much more than fruits, vegetables and herbs. It’s a hands-on learning ground where students get to experience what it really takes to grow organically, from planting and harvesting to running a CSA. This year, the OSU Organic Growers Club received an OGC Mission Fund grant, which helped pay student stipends and purchase farm materials. The support is helping the farm continue to thrive while giving students a one-of-a-kind education in sustainable agriculture.

Every week is Climate Week at OGC. Being fierce protectors of the organic movement means taking care of the planet with every choice we make. That’s why we power our facilities with renewable energy, stay laser focused on sustainable packaging and pay attention to the tiny details—like developing a system to recycle twist-ties and tags to keep them out of the landfill, and so much more.

Big news! We’ve signed on to the U.S. Food Waste Pact, making OGC the first wholesale distributor at the table!  The U.S. Food Waste Pact, a national effort led by ReFED and World Wildlife Fund to cut food waste across the supply chain. According to ReFED, wasted food generates 10% of the United States’ methane emissions, a harmful greenhouse gas that’s contributing to climate change and about 50x as potent as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.  OGC is deeply committed to preventing food from going to waste in the first place and achieved a 93% zero-waste threshold in 2024 through actions like donating all of our unsellable fresh produce to hunger relief nonprofits or animal feed. Now, by joining the Pact, we’ll collaborate with other food businesses to share best practices and innovate together to build a more sustainable food system.
