New update on our kidney journey! We learned this week that Patty will be the official donor and that the surgery will happen sooner than expected. Our volunteer team will also be planning a virtual fun run in honor of John soon. Link in bio for the full update.

It’s time to stock up for your holiday cooking.

It’s time to stock up for your holiday cooking. This holiday season is tougher than normal—we hope that delicious meals can make it a little better. Wine-smoked turkey pick up is this Saturday. Put in your Beaverton Farmers Market pre-orders by noon Friday. But remember that we stock a number of fabulous locally-owned grocery stores in the Willamette Valley and offer home delivery for orders of $75 or more (info on our website). See many of you tomorrow for the last Beaverton market of 2020!

The final Beaverton Farmers Market of the 2020 sea

The final Beaverton Farmers Market of the 2020 season will be this coming Saturday 11/21. Come and stock your freezer with your favorite grass-fed local meats! We will have your pre-ordered wine smoked turkeys for pick up as well. Now through Friday at noon is a great time to put in your pre-order for the market. Link to the printable or electronic form in bio. This has been by far the wildest farmers market year of our ~2 decades at the market. Pandemic, wildfires, drive-through market, masks, and John’s kidney issues. We have been there together through it all this year. We can’t wait to see you Saturday! **During the market off-season of Dec & Jan we will still offer home delivery to most Portland, Salem, Corvallis & Mt. Angel areas.** #grassfedmeat #eatlocal #familyfarm #beavertoneats #farmtotable #beavertonfarmersmarket

WOW! Here’s John talking with Robby from KOIN 6

WOW! Here’s John talking with Robby from KOIN 6 at the Beaverton Farmers Market today. Over the last two days, John has felt nervous but so so proud to share information about his kidney journey with support from the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, Northwest Kidney Kids. We’ve seen him become more confident and eloquent educating people about kidney disease. We are looking at a transplant in early 2021, with Patty the likely donor. We will let you know in our stories when any news segments featuring John and the Beaverton Farmers Market will air. 🌈 An ENORMOUS THANK YOU to all our farmers market friends and customers and strangers (new friends!) who came by today. It’s been quite a year, and your support is incredible. 🌈

If you can, watch KGW channel 8 at 5:20pm tonight (Friday). We had the chance to talk about John’s kidney journey with photojournalist Jon Goodwin today. He came out to the farm and spent so much time with us. John loved the experience and watching him talk made us so proud! We wanted to make sure our friends and family and customers know. We are so grateful for you going on this journey with us. 💕 #NWKidneyKids @cota_org

John is “Captain Underpants” for Halloween. We just found out this week that he’s going on the active donor list because of a decrease in kidney function. We also received a donor update from Stanford. You can read the full update at cotaforjohnsjourney.com (link in bio).

THANK YOU for all your support. It means so much to us!

EXCITING NEWS! After a soft arrival at the @beaver

EXCITING NEWS! After a soft arrival at the @beavertonmarket Market last Saturday, our goat meat is officially available for purchase this weekend! Our goat is sustainably raised in Mt. Angel on our farm and at the grazing grounds of the Mount Angel Abbey & Seminary. Is goat curry in your future? Or perhaps goat stew? We have both bone-in and boneless goat cut for curry/stew. As you know, we've been working on this project for over a year and we are excited to finally be bringing goat to the market alongside our normal offerings! #goatmeat #willamettevalley #familyfarm

It’s Patty’s birthday on Saturday. She doesn’t want to make a big deal about it. It’s been a tough year. “Date nights” involve traveling down to Stanford for MRIs and blood tests. The farm would not run without Patty. She manages the packing plant, fills orders, handles the books, and now ‘teaches’ elementary school... you name it, she does it! If you would like to make a donation to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association in honor of John’s Journey, that’s really the only gift Patty would like. We will also have coin collection boxes at the Beaverton Farmers Market this weekend. Message us if you would like one for your organization. Thank you all for your amazing support this year. We have seen our customers rally around local food and our family. ➡️Also, family medical update on John’s Children’s Organ Transplant Association blog. Link in bio. 💕💕💕 @cota_org #COTAhope

Throwback Thursday to when Uncle Dan and Aunt Lisa

Throwback Thursday to when Uncle Dan and Aunt Lisa came to visit us at the Beaverton Farmers Market this summer. This was a special treat because they brought John a Stanford backpack for his trips down to Palo Alto that he will need leading up to, during, and after his kidney surgery. Dan and Mike have been friends since they were both at Oregon State teaching... scuba diving. That’s not a joke. :0) A lot of our long-time customers know Dan, and you’ll get to see him this weekend, because he is pinch hitting and helping us at the market booth. Pre-orders are due at noon on Friday. 🤗 #familyfarm #nwkidneykids #beavertonfarmersmarket #farmtotable #willamettevalley

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how your favorite #grassfedgrassfinishedmeat gets from the farm to you. This is Patty at the vacuum sealer machine in our USDA-inspected packing plant on the farm. She's working with lamb loin chops. We vacuum seal, label, and freeze our meat right after it is hand cut so that no shelf life is lost. That ensures that you get the freshest meat possible. Our lamb is raised by two Willamette Valley family farms that care for their animals to the same high-quality standards we do.

We're so grateful to our customers for your commitment to making the local food system robust by knowing where your food comes from and supporting local producers. Special shout out to the groceries, restaurants, and institutions that carry #LonelyLaneFarms meat! 💕 @Alberta_coop @cherrysprout @lifesource_foods @firstaltcoop @oceananaturalfoods @kivagrocery @hodaspdx @dinedelalma @benedictinebrewery @bonappetitreedcollege @bonappetitgfu @mountangelabbey @bonappetit_wu @nourished.beginnings @chef_lieggi @beavertonmarket 💕

Mike and his dad Joe have been doing a lot of farm

Mike and his dad Joe have been doing a lot of farming the past two months to get us ready for the late fall and winter in the #WillametteValley. Here is Mike last month helping his dad unload hay that we grew. If you don’t see Mike at the Beaverton Market on an upcoming Saturday, it’s because he’s probably at home farming to make sure we are all set. #WinterIsComing #FamilyFarm #grassfedmeat #grassfedgrassfinished

Last week was Mike and my anniversary--to celebrat

Last week was Mike and my anniversary--to celebrate, we went down to Stanford for Mike to get an MRI! Trips away from the farm take lots of preparation at the processing facility and on the farming side. Our last anniversary trip was to look at a combine in Ontario, Oregon. The silver lining last week was some lovely weather in California.

The MRI was part of Mike’s pre-screening to be John’s kidney donor. So far, everything looks good and we think Mike has just one more round of tests.

To keep you all updated with our kidney disease + donation journey, we are so grateful to be able to share our Children’s Organ Transplant Association website: John’s Journey (link in bio). We’ll still let you know what’s happening on our Instagram and Facebook, but more detailed information, updates, and a donation link can all be found on the John’s Journey page.

Image descriptions: 1 - Mike and I in front of the Farmer’s Market booth on Saturday after Mike surprised me with a big, beautiful bouquet of flowers for our anniversary. We’re both wearing masks and I’m holding the bouquet. 2 - All three of us walking side by side away from the camera on the farm at sunset.

Bene says it’s a great day to get in your pre-orders for the @beavertonmarket! If you have a recipe in mind or a cut of meat you are planning on grilling, and you want to be sure we aren’t out by the time you arrive, just email Patty your order and we will set it aside for you at the market in our coolers (patty@lonelylanefarms.com). Also, can you believe how big our “puppy” is getting!? She is getting to be a better and better herd protector each day! #anatolianshepherd #willamettevalley #familyfarm #meatraisedright
