SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT - FARMLANDS MARKET!
Jessica Landstra grew up in Creswell, attended Creswell High School, and still lives there with her husband and kids. She began Farmlands Market when she was 20 and after 7 years, Farmlands has become a community staple.
Creswell is a small, but diverse community. The products at Farmlands are a balance of local, good and affordable. Jessica and her staff work on getting as many local products, like wine and produce, as they can to meet Creswell's varied demands.
For Jessica, the community has always been there, and her family has always been an integral part of Creswell; her parents helped form the 4th of July parade and her father volunteered with the fire department for 30 years.
Farmlands Market donated food to the local food pantry when their supplies were low, sparking a food drive that other businesses followed suit in. Landstra will also give money to children for sports uniforms or food if they come in and talk with her.
”Somehow I carved a large space for myself in this community and people respect what I do,” she said. ”If I take the leap (in giving), other people will, too. That's a big deal to lead something like that. Our community helps out our community; it's give, give, give.”
We are proud to have Farmlands Market be an advertising partner here at Cottage Grove Speedway!! Be sure to check them out for a local, affordable source of groceries in Creswell and the surrounding area!!
