Buying Bulk Foods: Fill Your Pantry

Fill Your Pantry, an annual post-harvest event sponsored by Ten Rivers Food Web, and Willamette Farm and Food Coalition, seeks to establish a regional food economy that benefits farmers, consumers, and the local community. As Jen Christion Meyers, Ten Rivers Community Food Organizer explains in the video, the idea is for farmers to sell their storage crops, such as dry beans, rice (yes, there is a farmer growing wild rice in the valley!), and grains that are grown in the Willamette Valley to be purchased directly by consumers in bulk amounts for use throughout the winter months.

Obama is a figurehead, and only makes sense in this context in synecdoche. I was actually thinking a lot of the same thing, that "The Man" wants to suffocate this event, this kind of activity, because ...who knows WHY, but that is this kind of thinking that is antithetical to the moneychangers.

Totally and absolutely true lol about having around Christmas time because that is my fav time of the year for fruit. Perhaps twice a year then one just before the heavy winter sets in and one in December for the summer fruits etc. I would imagine one would have to make contact with the Organic Growers association and start from there if they wanted to organise something even similar. We have wonderful growers here that grow an abundance of different fruits and vegies.

I agree Michelle. I would even travel a fair distance to go to something like that, once or twice a year. Something like that would be great just before christmas when mangos, other stone fruit and berries are all in abundance because they would be affordable enough to be frozen to enjoy for the rest of the year. I wonder how you would even start to organise something like that though?!?

Brilliant!

[buffalopatriot]

I'm surprised and pleased that you haven't been raided.

[bohemiangypsy99]

Oh man I wish we had this sort of thing in Australia before our winter. I would be there in a heartbeat lol.
