What a Summer FARM to FORK has in store...

12 Farm Dinners.

12 Host Farms.

4 Fertile Valleys.

1 Local Food Community. 

FARM to FORK has been very busy this Winer and as Spring quickly approaches, their vision of this Summer's Farm Dinner season inches closer to reality. What a Summer they have in store...

This year FARM to FORK Events is hitting the road as Oregon's first 'statewide' Farm Dinner experience. They will be traveling from the Southern Cascades to the shadow of Mount Hood, from Talent to Troutdale, and from Yamhill to Central Point. 

They'll be dabbling in biodynamics and permaculture, feature organic produce and pastured pork (among other things), and work with historic farms and young farmers... from Portlandia to the Mythical State of Jefferson. 

They'll also introduce you to the brains behind the bottles of Abacela Vineyard & Winery, Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden, Teutonic Wine Company, Weisinger's Winery, Troon Vineyard, RoxyAnn Winery, Boedecker Cellars, Big Table Farm Wines, Roots Wine Company, Viento Wines, Crater Lake Cellars and Trium Wines. 

And to top it all off, they've enlisted the help of some talented and passionate people. Chef David Padberg (Park Kitchen), Chef Troy MacLarty (formerly of Lovely Hula Hands & Ned Ludd), Chef Neil Clooney (Smithfields of Ashland), Chef Braden Hitt (Smithfields of Ashland), and several others to be announced, have joined the FARM to FORK Team to help honor and celebrate Oregon's farmers and winemakers.

Stay tuned for more detailed updates and for an upcoming video series featuring the 2011 host farms, featured wineries, and community partners.
