Supplying Organic Products to Starcreek Restaurants
We love the Starcreek Restaurant in Eco, Oregon, and we’ve visited two of the other four in Jensen county, too. The homey atmosphere and emphasis on healthy foods in your restaurants fits perfectly into our community values in this region. However, we noticed that you buy products from as far away as California.
Perhaps you’ve never realized that our 100% organic, family owned VidaBuena Farm can supply many of your meat and produce needs, and we’re only a few miles away, just across the county border. The partnership of VidaBuena Farm and Starcreek Restaurants seems to us like a natural pairing. We’re sure that after reading this proposal, you’ll agree. Please call to schedule a face to face meeting to discuss more details and set up a relationship that will benefit Starcreek Restaurants, VidaBuena Farm, and all your customers.
We can’t wait to meet you in person. The 100% organic meat and produce available from VidaBuena Farm, LLC would be a great pairing with the Starcreek Restaurant. We can decrease your food costs while also increasing the quality of food presented to your customers.

We’re neighbors. Like you, we take pride in our community and in promoting local businesses. We know that right now Starcreek has produce shipped in from as far away as central California.
But you should know that most of the items you currently use are available from VidaBuena Farm, can be supplied more cheaply, and will arrive in the freshest condition possible. The "Buy Local" trend is big with the patrons of your restaurants, and so is the attraction of organic foods. We meet both those criteria, and you would benefit from cashing in on that. Your customers value healthy food, and we are a 100% organic farm.
See Certifications and Awards and Achievements for more information about what that means. Your customers value buying local, and we are a local, family owned business. You won’t find a more wholesome, community minded company than VidaBuena Farm.

The VidaBuena Delivery Fleet
We have two refrigerated trucks and several non refrigerated vehicles that we use to deliver orders to our local customers. Our drivers normally pack the trucks early on Monday and Friday mornings and make all deliveries in the afternoon of the same day. Special deliveries on other days can also be arranged or may be picked up at local farmers markets on Saturdays.
The Order Process
Orders for produce should be placed a minimum of 48 hours before delivery. Orders for beef, pork, or poultry products should be placed one week before delivery. At times, we can accommodate last minute orders if products are already harvested and sorted, so feel free to call if you have an urgent need for something. However, we cannot guarantee availability, because we typically harvest only crops that are ripe and on order at the time.
Benefits of Our Service
The biggest benefit of our service is farm to table freshness. Although we can freeze meat products if you desire, we typically deliver fresh beef, pork, and poultry products in our refrigerated trucks so you can advertise that your meals contain ingredients that have "never been frozen".
Costs
The cost of delivery varies by the amount of produce ordered, and should you want a special delivery on days other than Monday or Friday, we must charge extra for that. If you typically order a variety of products on our regular delivery days, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive our delivery service is. Call us for details. We are confident in our ability to work out an arrangement that will suit every budget and meet every establishment’s needs.
We take great pride in picking crops only when they are ripe and ready for harvest. Farming has its seasons, and not all products are available at all times of year. Although our seasons fluctuate somewhat each year due to variable weather conditions, the following list indicates the usual times of year our products are available. Salad Greens We offer a wide variety of salad greens, lettuces, kale, and spinach, and our climate typically allows us to harvest them from April through November.
Peppers, tomatoes, corn, tomatillos, green beans, string beans, butter beans, scallions, green onions, garlic, zucchini, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, marionberries Our harvest of these crops typically begins in June and continues through August, with the greatest abundance occurring from mid July to late August, with the exception of strawberries, which typically achieve maximum yield during the month of June. We often have some beans, corn, tomatoes and peppers coming ripe during the month of September as well. Ripeness and yields are weather dependent, of course.
That’s the nature of farming. Acorn squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkin Depending on size of fruit, these squashes typically ripen between July 1 and October 31. Peaches, plums, pluots, and apricots Our typical harvest season for these warm weather fruits is from late July through the end of September.
Fresh cut flowers. From May through October, we can supply a variety of fresh flowers for your restaurant tables. Beef, pork, and poultry. We can supply fresh organic beef, pork, and poultry all year round. As you can see by the list above, we can supply farm fresh organic foods for your customers’ enjoyment throughout most months of the year.

Through these venues, we reach thousands of people. Visitor Days at the Farm. We have regularly scheduled days where we open up our farm to visitors so that families can see for themselves our green farming practices and our healthy livestock.
Community Benefits
Consumers learn the benefits of "buying local." These days, people are becoming more interested in learning where their food comes from and how it is processed. Families learn about farming. Unless we want our food system to be controlled by massive corporations, we need family farms for the future, and that means interesting young people in the farming life.
Money spent in the community stays in the community. VidaBuena Farm hires local workers and supplies local establishments with our products, and we spend our profits locally, too. The money we generate benefits our community, not a handful of tycoons in a distant city.
The "Buy Local" movement is hugely popular in our area, and VidaBuena Farm routinely posts lists of local farmers markers where our produce can be purchased, as well as local restaurants and other producers who purchase from us. VidaBuena Farm would be proud to add Starcreek Restaurants to that list, and Starcreek Restaurants would also benefit from advertising that they use our organic products in their meals. VidaBuena Farm is proud to announce that we hold a National Organic Program NOP certificate from the United States Department of Agriculture USDA. To earn this certificate, a farm must be regularly inspected and must continue to meet the standards described below.
Generally speaking, organic farms must demonstrate that they are conserving biodiversity, protecting natural resources, and using only approved natural substances. Organic crops standards. Our USDA organic seal tells the world that we do not use prohibited pesticides, radiation, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms. Organic livestock standards. To earn an organic seal from the USDA for livestock, the producer must verify that the farm provided animals with access to the outdoors, fed them 100% organic feed, met animal health and welfare standards, and did not use antibiotics or growth hormones.
We believe that the patrons of Starcreek Restaurants would be happy to know their food comes from a NOP certified farm.
