Ten Rivers Food Web
A custom WordPress website for a Corvallis nonprofit stewarding the growth of a resilient local food web across three Oregon counties.
Ten Rivers Food Web was born in 2005 out of conversations about rising hunger and food insecurity. They take their name from the ten rivers that flow through Benton, Lincoln, and Linn counties, and they serve the small and mid-sized food producers who feed the communities there. Each November they hold Fill Your Pantry, a farmers’ market and winter vegetable festival, and at their Soil Amendment Sale, gardeners and farmers stock up on organic soil amendments. When the food producers they surveyed asked for a local food directory and a food hub, Ten Rivers listened. In 2024 they launched the Local Food Directory, which lets people search for farms near them, and in 2025 the Mid-Valley Food Hub. Only 5% of the food eaten in their counties is produced locally, and Ten Rivers is working toward a vibrant regional food web that nourishes the whole community.
Website Design
Putting Ten Rivers Food Web’s programs within reach of the people they serve was our aim for the WordPress website we built them, because those programs do a great deal of good in their communities. The Fill Your Pantry, Soil Amendment Sale, and Mid-Valley Food Hub pages tell visitors when to preorder, where to pick up, and how to order from the hub each week. When preorders are closed, visitors can sign up for event reminders instead, and schools and other institutions can ask for the hub’s weekly availability by email. Donate and Volunteer buttons sit near the bottom of every page, for everyone who wants to support their work.
Website Hosting & Maintenance
Ten Rivers Food Web relies on us for hosting, and we give their website a backup once a month and 24/7 monitoring. After the website launched, we built a pop-up their team can switch on from the site’s settings, with an image, a message, and a button of their choosing. They can schedule when it starts and ends, and it appears only once in each visit, so the team can reach visitors without getting in their way as they look around the site.
