Annual Wallowa County
FEAST happens soon
ENTERPRISE — The 2021
Wallowa County FEAST (Food,
Education, Agriculture, Solutions,
Together), a community forum
to discuss food systems and food
resources, is going virtual. The
event, canceled in 2020 due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, will be held
via Zoom Tuesday, March 16, from
5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Hosting an event centered on
food over video conferencing is chal-

at the beginning of the event and
to share the recipe with the other
participants.
After the virtual happy hour,
three speakers will address their
corner of the Wallowa County food
world: Kristy Athens of Genuine
Wallowa County/Wallowa County
Provisions, Patrick Thiel of Prairie
Creek Farms and Jessica Espinoza
of the Community Connection Food
Bank.
Participants will then move into
break-out sessions to discuss topics
of interest related to the challenges
of food systems in a rural area
and the successes and obstacles of
securing food during a pandemic.
Funding for the event and micro-
grants to local organizations is
from The Oregon Food Bank and
was secured by Wallowa County
OSU Extension and St. Patrick
Episcopal Church.
All registrants will be eligible for
door prizes. Registration is avail-
able at tinyurl.com/WCFEAST. For
