LIBRARY
Since 2011, TAKE ROOT Magazine has been taking readers on a journey to local gardens and farms where the freshest ingredients arrive at nearby farmers’ markets, your family’s pantry and in the kitchens of some of your favorite restaurants and catering services. TAKE ROOT continues to tell the stories behind local farms, food and sustainable living in the Willamette Valley and throughout Oregon. The stories and articles reside in our digital magazine library where visitors can learn more about our local farms and food brands. We encourage readers (wherever you live) to eat food grown closer to home and thrive in a healthy environment for their families and the future of all our children. We believe it all begins with healthy soil and seeds from farms to tables.
The team at TAKE ROOT understands the importance of knowing where food comes from. We know that soil is the richest gift and the beginning of sustainable living. We cherish bees and how vital they are to our food system. We honor farmers who sow the soil for the harvest; our ranchers, fisherman and poultry farmers, who supply our meat to our finest restaurants, delis and our home barbecues, and the chefs and artisans who use our local harvest and create culinary food and beverage creations that delight our senses.
TAKE ROOT provides an annual guide connecting the local community to local farms, ranchers and other local businesses. Inside this guide, you'll find individual farm profiles and information on certifications and practices, CSA listings, farmers' markets, farmstand maps, food businesses and more, making this a favorite guide for those looking for local food resources and other businesses serving Linn, Benton, Marion, Polk counties and surrounding region. Look for this free guide at local businesses.
“We are truly fortunate to have the riches of the Willamette Valley to enjoy, and TAKE ROOT thoughtfully, passionately and creatively showcases them with pride but without a commercial tone.”

"TAKE ROOT magazine is VERY popular at the library. The back issues are hardly ever there, so people are checking them out and using them. Looks like you are filling a niche. Good job!"
