CHOW! SUMMER 2004
Gettin’
Fresh
O
h, summer … The season brings heaps of local, fresh
goodies for you to enjoy: Farmers’ markets are pop-
ping up all over town (the existing Lane County
Farmers’ Market has expanded its hours of operation
to include Thursdays at the fairgrounds). There are
plenty of places to get fat berries, sweet tomatoes,
homegrown lettuce, organic broccoli.
This issue of Chow! celebrates that freshness of the season: You’ll
get Lance Sparks’ take on the refreshing, sophisticated style of Zalaya
(they’ve changed the spelling of the name), and Aleta Raphael-Brock
will show you three eateries serving up activism along with good,
organic eats. Mindy Inman reviews Play With Your Food, and Chris
Ammon explores the world of Oregon's eco-wines. You’ll also find out
how Aaron Silverman of Greener Pastures Poultry is making better,
truly farm-fresh poultry available for the conscientious omnivores out
there.
Get out to the farms. Sit outside at your favorite restaurant. Soak
up the sun, eat well and enjoy the season. — Bobbie Willis
