Dear Friend,

Before we publicize this more broadly, we want to let you in on an incredibly special event we have planned in October! This unique dinner is a fundraiser that will support independent farms, and fight new, harmful, pending regulations that will affect Oregon's small farmers.

Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is holding a locally-sourced, farm-to-table dinner and regenerative farm tour at Tabula Rasa Farms in McMinnville, Oregon. This special dinner event will be held at the beautiful Stillwater venue and feature locally-sourced ingredients and Willamette Valley wines.

We appreciate your support and want to give you this information first as an opportunity to obtain tickets to the dinner and optional farm tour, and so you may tell others about this unique event.

Things to know:

1) Your attendance helps fund our legal work to protect Oregon small farmers from pending unfair and burdensome regulations (more info on that below), and

2) Dinner seating is limited (capped at 130) as are Tabula Rasa regenerative farm tour spots, and

3) We have several sponsorship opportunities available.

Monies raised from the dinner and farm tours will support FTCLDF’s work providing legal representation and policy changes to support Oregon's independent farming community.

FTCLDF and its members are currently mounting a legal challenge against industry-backed and oppressive regulation aimed at treating small regenerative farms as harmful concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which of course, they are not!

Under the proposed regulations, even small livestock operations, such as horse farms, could be affected!

To get tickets before they officially go on sale, please visit Eventbrite or call our office during business hours at 703-208-3276.

Tickets for the dinner are $120 each.

Tickets for the Tabula Rasa Farms regenerative farm tour are $40 each.

Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is a 501(c)4 organization. Your donation is not deductible as a charitable contribution because donations are used, in part, for lobbying.

I want to personally thank you for your support of food freedom, and the legal and policy work of FTCLDF, not only in Oregon, but around the nation. We need to continue to challenge these unfair rules, regulations, and laws, like the new regulations being proposed in Oregon, so that our independent farmers and cottage food makers can thrive, and consumers can access the healthiest food options for themselves and their families.

In good health,

Alexia Kulwiec

Executive Director, FTCLDF
