NEWS BRIEFS
ANNUAL EVENT
HONORS FARMERS
What will happen when a natural
disaster shuts down our bridges, highways
and rail lines and prevents the distribution
of food to local stores? “Reality is, every
community has about three days food
supply available in grocery stores to feed
itself,” says Deb McGee, who describes
herself as a “Peaceful Valley subsistence
farmer” in rural Eugene. “It is also true
that 90 percent of what we eat could be
grown locally if we chose to eat seasonally.”
In an effort to build local food security,
McGee is helping promote the 13th annual
That’s My Farmer event from 5:30 to 7:30
pm Tuesday, March 13, at First United
Methodist Church, 1376 Olive St. in
Eugene. The theme this year is “Share a
Meal During the Hungry Season.”
McGee is inviting the community to
“come partake of the seasonal fare
available from our local farmers” at event.
She says Zenon sous chef Kevin Risinger
is collecting food donations from 13 of our
local community supported agriculture
(CSA) farmers and will create a “divine
soup.” Culinary Arts and Hospitality
students from LCC will bake and serve
fresh rolls made with local grains.
“We will talk, listen, learn, meet farmers
and neighbors, sign up for CSAs, win
fabulous door prizes: flats of blueberries,
pork, eggs, homemade pies, compost,
worms,” she says. “We will share the
celebration of community in appreciation
and wonder for those who know how to
produce our food throughout the year.”
All donations at the event will go
directly to subsidize CSA food shares for
“our neighbors who need good food,” says
McGee. “If our local farmers can count on
our community to buy their goods year
round, including during the ‘hungry
season,’ then we can count on our farmers
to produce safe, delicious, fresh and
nutritious food year round for us!”

at 343-5091.
CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS
Last week in Slant we wrote that Betty Taylor
and George Brown voted against continuing the
Downtown Public Safety Zone, but Brown actually
voted reluctantly for the temporary expansion. It
was Taylor and Mike Clark who voted against it,
reportedly for very different reasons.
