Did you know that ROCO has a community-supported garden on site? It’s true – the Dundee Dirtbox CSA shares an acre of our land. Here’s some info…

The Dundee Dirtbox is a community-supported agriculture (CSA) project started by Nadine Lew and Alix Eastman. Nadine and Alix met in 2007 while thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and became fast friends. Post-trail, they both found their way to the Portland area and reunited. Upon realizing that they needed to supplement their day jobs with something more in tune with their personal missions, they decided to start a CSA. This decision was aided by the fact that Nadine was already living on a large piece of property, with 5 acres planted to vines and 5 acres just waiting to be cultivated. So cultivate they did, with the summer of 2009 marking their first season of production. In 2010, their good friends Corby, Rollin and Cody from ROCO wines offered up an acre more of fertile land in Dundee… and the CSA grew to be a full-time endeavor for Nadine and her partner, Jon.
