WALLOWA COUNTY GRAIN GROWERS
A farmer-owned coop serving the people of
Wallowa County since 1944
deputy director for Northeast
Oregon Economic Develop-
ment District.
“A FEAST event gives
people a chance to meet oth-
ers interested in our food
system and those connec-
tions sometimes lead to col-
laborative projects or volun-
teer opportunities,” Miller
said.
The acronym stands for
Food, Education, Agricul-
ture, Solutions, Together.
Funding to put on the event
comes from the Oregon
Food Bank. The discussions
are centered around address-
ing challenges in the food
system, and Miller said a
prior event prompted dis-
cussions that led to some
changes in the county.
“Discussions at the event
lead to volunteers organizing
to host a Rural Resources
for Rural Economies Amer-
iCorps volunteer, comple-
tion of a Community Food
Assessment for Wallowa
County, formation of the ad
hoc Wallowa County Food
System Council to continue
the sharing of information
and help people make con-
nections and collaborate on
projects to meet community
needs,” Miller said.
Food security, and help-
ing establish it, is a key point
of the discussion.
“(The event) brings peo-
ple together who are either
interested or involved as a
profession in the food sys-
tem locally,” event co-or-
ganizer Katy Nesbitt said.
“It’s to evoke conversations
and help people dream about
what else we can do in our
community to have a more
secure food system. There’s
a term thrown around in food
communities called food

on assistance. It could be
around community gar-
dens and partnerships with
schools. Could be around
how to make distribution
among producers. How to
make the distribution of
their product easier. The nice
thing is it’s not in a box.”
Nesbitt also said there
is an education side to the
discussion.
“Another aspect of these
FEAST conversations is
how do we connect folks in
poverty with fresh food?”
Nesbitt asked, noting that
and other educational ele-
ments are brought up.
The event runs from
5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday and
is on Zoom. Door prizes will
be available for entrants,
who can register at tinyurl.
