Food Forum




Saturday, May 1st, 2010
9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

The Pioneer Center
501 NE Washington St
White Salmon, WA
Gorge Grown’s Food Forum is an opportunity for Gorge residents, farmers, and decision-makers to come together and learn more about the state of our region’s food system and what needs to happen in order for Gorge farmers to succeed and for Gorge communities to eat well. Our vision: 20% of what local residents eat will come from local sources by 2020. Just 20% by 2020. What would that look like? How can we get there? It is a bold vision, one that will be supported by energy, ideas, and commitment from YOU.

Come to Food Forum to:

LEARN about our local food system - through a plenary and panel of local farmers and experts.

DEVELOP your food skills - through hands-on workshops in seed saving, composting, and more!

PARTICIPATE in the creation of Gorge Grown's 20x2020 plan. What role can you play?

This event is FREE!
