InFARMations are Back!
Portland, Salem, Corvallis, and Bend

Friends of Family Farmers has hosted InFARMations since 2009, bringing eaters and farmers together to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing our local food systems. While these have been held mostly in Portland over the years, we are excited to announce a new slate of InFARMations in Salem, Corvallis, and Bend, along with Portland, that will cover a wide range of topics. 

Here are some of our upcoming events. Stay tuned here as we announce more details. 

September 17th, Portland: What Does it All Mean? Breaking down farm certifications, labels, deceptive marketing and greenwashing

October 1st, Bend: Water and Agriculture in the High Desert - Come learn about the strategies being employed to restore the Deschutes River and ensure that fish, farms, and families can thrive. 

October 15th, Portland: Vote With Your Dollars! Conversations about keeping your money in the local economy, and why and how to get to know your Farmers

Film Screenings with FoFF!

Join us for one of many special screenings of the film Eating Animals followed by a discussion of the realities of factory farming. Discover how you can support producers in the Oregon Pasture Network who are raising their animals on pasture, a healthier and more environmentally-friendly alternative to the industrial model.

We have upcoming screenings in Corvallis, Salem, Portland, Sisters, Hood River and Bend. Follow this link for more info and the full schedule.
