It was spring down in the valley, with ladybugs landing on my arm, crocuses and daffodils budding, and students working on an old tractor in the nearby field.<\/p>\n<p>The Food Solutions Summit was the best conference-style event I\u2019ve been to, from Solar to Yoga to Permaculture conferences, this was hands-down the most enjoyable. It was small and powerful. It packed a punch. It brought together people from Southern Oregon passionate about a healthier, equitable, sustainable, and eco-friendly local food distribution network: Companies looking for ways to give to their community, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/roguecreamery.com\/\">Rogue Creamery<\/a>. Non-profits like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roguefoodunites.org\/\">Rogue Food Unites<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thecrestatwillowwitt.org\/\">The Crest at Willow-Witt<\/a>, zero-food waste fans and food recyclers and composters like us, <a href=\"https:\/\/ashlandcommunitycomposting.org\/\">Ashland Community Composting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/healterra.org\/\">HealTerra<\/a> out of Roseburg, Elaine Blatt with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/deq\/mm\/food\/pages\/bad-apple.aspx\">Oregon DEQ<\/a>, and chefs that use locally sourced ingredients, like <a href=\"https:\/\/jeffersonfarmkitchen.com\/\">Chef Kristen<\/a>. All there to exchange ideas, needs, suggestions, resources. I came away, my head full of possibilities, amazed and thankful at our thriving and enterprising Rogue Valley community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago, I attended the Food Solutions Summit, hosted by the Rogue Valley Food System Network, at the OSU Agricultural Extension in Medford, Oregon.
