Longview farm part of larger effort toward food equality
homeless — to the benefits of
local, clean farming and food
equality.
Scott and Dixie Edwards
opened Watershed Gar-
den Works in an unincorpo-
rated part of west Longview
in 1993. The business has
two identities: one as a native
plant nursery and the other as
an organic farm.
Four years ago, the
Edwardses started offering a
CSA program as a way to sus-
tain their income during the
plant nursery’s down season
in the summer.
A full share costs $25 a
week, for up to 16 weeks. A
half-share costs $15 a week.
In exchange, sharehold-
ers receive a weekly bag of
whichever fruit, vegetables
or herbs were picked that
morning. The bags may also
include samples of honey, pre-
pared sauces, condiments and
recipe suggestions.
Scott Edwards said the
contents can vary dramati-
cally and also include unusual
or less well-known crops such
Farmers part of
a movement
By ROSE LUNDY

LONGVIEW, Wash. —
Longview’s popular farm and
plant nursery Watershed Gar-
den Works is brimming with
life: from goldenrod, Doug-
las aster and lupine to purple
basil, Desert King Figs and
sweet wild strawberries. As
soon as one crop is harvested,
another one is planted.
Despite challenges, like
fending off starlings, deer and
nutria, owners Scott and Dixie
Edwards harvest enough pro-
duce from their 7.5 acres to fill
the farm share bags that go out
to customers each week.
The Edwardses and other
Community Supported Agri-
culture programs in the area
are working to change lives.
They are part of a larger
movement in the area to edu-
cate and expose everyone —
including children and the

as okra. Okra seed pods are
more common in southern
states, he said, so people in
southwest Washington might
not know the best way to pre-
pare it.

The Daily Astorian
The Harbor, a regional
advocacy group for victims of
sexual and domestic violence,
is closing the Deja Vu Thrift
Store & Boutique by the end
of September to cut overhead
and focus on core services.
“Rather than creating
resources for The Harbor,
Deja Vu has been consis-
tently operating at a loss, pull-
ing our already limited assets
away from the programs and
services our community has
been calling for, like our con-
fidential shelter,” Molly Prin-
gle, executive director of the
group, said in a release.
Deja Vu has operated for
more than a decade and in
2010 moved to the Norblad
Building at 14th and Duane
streets. The Harbor recently
relocated its offices from the
Norblad Building to the for-
mer Snow & Snow law firm
at Eighth and Commercial
streets.
The Harbor recently
scrapped a renovation of the
Van Dusen Building at 10th
and Duane streets and sold
it to coworking space Asto-
ria Maker Industries to save
money. The building, gifted to
the group by Pig ’N Pancake
founders Marianne and Robert
Poole, had been planned as its
headquarters and a new store-
front for Deja Vu.
The group recently opened
a new confidential shelter
Pringle said will help provide
safe housing for up to 140
people over the next year.
“It’s true that each of
these families will likely need
many of the basics Deja Vu
once supplied,” Pringle said.
“The Harbor will connect
shelter residents with cloth-
ing and household goods by
hosting community resource
drives, partnering with local
businesses who might share
some surplus, and accepting
select donations directly from
individuals.”
Pringle recommended peo-
ple take their donations meant
for Deja Vu to NW Commu-
nity Alliance Thrift at Sev-
enth and Bond streets. Those
with new items to donate
to The Harbor can call the
group’s business office at
503-325-3426.

Including items like okra
in the farm share bags, along
with healthy recipe sugges-
tions, exposes the community
to new culinary experiences.
Plus, CSA members know that
eat and our health. My body
responds to good, clean food.
It’s empowering to know that
nothing has been sprayed
(with pesticides).”
Watershed was previously
certified organic by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
and although they haven’t
changed their practices since,
they decided it was too expen-
sive to continue requalifying,
Dixie Edwards said.
While the organic certi-
fication may not have made
sense financially for Water-
shed, Dixie Edwards said it
does make financial sense for
everyone to buy from local
farmers, she said.
“If someone buys some-
thing from us for $1, studies
have shown that $1 circulates
eight times in the community.
That’s a benefit for the entire
community,” she said.
Watershed also offers the
option to donate a share to
local nonprofit Radical Love,
which provides wholesome
meals twice a week for the
homeless and hungry.
