Fill Your Pantry Farm Direct Community Bulk Buying Events Don’t miss the opportunity to stock up on locally grown staple and storage crops. Whole grains, freshly ground fl ours, dry beans and legumes, polenta corn, popcorn, onions, garlic, root crops, winter squash, apples, nuts, honey and more! The Ten Rivers Food Web (Corvallis) and Willamette Farm and Food Coalition (Eugene) teamed up two years ago as part of the Southern Willamette Valley Bean and Grain Project to hold the fi rst Fill Your Pantry event. It was enormously popular, and in 2011 grew to three events (one in Shedd and two in Eugene). The word has since spread and these farm direct community bulk buying events are cropping up all over the state.
