Dear Friend,

On Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. join us for an exciting event that celebrates and supports Oregon's independent family farms!

At Empowering and Sustaining Oregon Family Farms, we'll come together in person at the beautiful Stillwater event venue in McMinnville, Ore. for a locally sourced farm-to-table dinner fundraiser. This event is being held in conjunction with The Ground, an ecosystem of businesses connecting farms, food and people through loving hospitality,

An optional regenerative farm tour at Tabula Rasa Farms can be added on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning to complete your experience in the beautiful Willamette Valley.

Hear Alexia Kulwiec of FTCLDF discuss regulatory challenges and burdens placed on small farms and food producers nationally. Alice Morrisson of Friends of Family Farms (FoFF) will discuss specific challenges faced by Oregon's independent farms. Christine Anderson, local small dairy operator, will tell her story of how her farm is impacted by new pending regulations by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. If you love Oregon's farming community, get the latest insider information on how these new regulations will affect little ag in your state, and how we can work together to fight for the rights of independent farmers, artisan food makers, and the consumers who love these products.

Proceeds from “Empowering and Sustaining Oregon Family Farms” will fund legal and policy representation specific to independent farmers, artisanal food producers, and their consumers.

Sponsors and attendees will join in protecting Oregon small farmers from an immediate and urgent regulatory threat to the state’s small livestock farmers including dairies, meat growers, and even horse farms. Unfair regulatory actions threaten treating the smallest livestock farms as confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which is patently unfair and will hurt the livelihood of these critical members of the farming community. Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund has your farmer’s back. Will you join us?

Take this opportunity to obtain tickets to the dinner and the optional farm tour and tell others you know about this event! (Please share this email!)
