PHOENIX, Ore. – Friends, family and the community came to support the farm owner who went through the unimaginable. Less than a year after their home was consumed by the Almeda Fire, Valhalla Organics was destroyed by the Cut Off Fire near Bonanza last weekend. “We don’t have a financial goal per se, I want to see as many people as possible and give as many hugs as possible, but I know Melodie hopes we sell every pickle,” said Valhalla Organics co-owner Ruby Reid. Some of the last local produce from Valhalla Organics Farm was sold at Oregon Cheese Cave in Phoenix this weekend.
