Groundwork Organics is an organic farm located north of Eugene, along the Willamette river. The farm grows a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers; which can be purchased at the Eugene farmers market, farm stand, and their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.

 

As of April 1, Groundwork Organics farm stand opens from nine to six p.m., Thursday through Sunday. They hold a variety of fresh organic produce, vegetables, condiments, and flowers. As you pull up to the farm stand, you’ll see the vibrant colors dancing on the tables.
