Additional information

Meadowfoam, a wildflower native to the Pacific Coast of North America, is seen by the Oregon Meadowfoam Growers Association as an alternate domestic source of industrial long-chain fatty acids. Recent efforts in the Pacific Northwest have focused on cultivating meadowfoam and promoting usage of the oil. In this article, Richard H. Purdy, technical consultant from Novato, California, and Charles D. Craig, program coordinator for the Oregon Meadowfoam Growers Association, review the history, current status and outlook for meadowfoam as a commercial crop. The address for the Oregon Meadowfoam Growers Association is 866 Lancaster Drive S.E., Salem, Oregon 97301.
