"Our students will grow up learning a lot more about the things OGC sells – this helps their overall health and enjoyment of fruits and veggies. We’re using the grant to expand our thornless blackberries and buy strawberry starts – anything that students can pick and immediately eat is a win!" -Bethel Farm Manager Kyle Ryan Based at Kalapuya High School, the district’s “Bethel Farm” is an immersive outdoor classroom where students get hands-on learning experience as they plan, plant and tend crops. Through the farm, students learn botany, agriculture, science and job skills in a real-world setting. The food the students grow goes right to cooking classes, where they learn food shopping and nutrition. Students are also welcome to take food home and periodically Bethel holds free farmers markets for them. Some of the crops go into school lunches. And whenever Bethel has food to donate, it goes directly to the food bank clients at FOOD for Lane County.

Trade groups are the glue that holds the ever-changing food industry together. They connect people and businesses with shared interests and goals, helping everyone stay competitive, adapt to changes and amplify our voices in the policy world. As part of our mission to grow the organic movement, OGC is involved in trade organizations throughout the Northwest and beyond. Last month, the Washington Food Industry Association’s (WFIA) annual Vendor to Vendor Connect trade show gave OGC coworkers a fun chance to network and expand our connections. During this special event, we were incredibly honored to receive WFIA’s Vendor of the Year Award. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire OGC team. We are so grateful to WFIA and our Washington partners—customers, growers and community allies—who help make our mission to grow the organic agricultural movement possible. #OrganicMovement #WFIA #OrganicallyGrown #TradeGroups

It was an inspiring Monday morning as we gathered with over 50 change makers called together by Congressman Earl Blumenauer to talk about issues that matter to us all. Serving as the U.S. Representative for Oregon's 3rd congressional district since 1996, Congressman Blumenauer has been a relentless champion for sustainable, local food systems development, urban agriculture, and environmental and climate policies. One unforgettable moment was when his words turned into a powerful chant: “We pay too much to the wrong people, to grow the wrong food, the wrong way, in the wrong places.” As he prepares to retire at the end of 2024, Congressman Blumenauer's vision and legacy will be carried forward by everyone gathered today with Ecotrust at The Redd. Thank you, Earl, for your decades of service, bold leadership, and tireless advocacy for change. 🙌💚 #ThankYouEarl #OrganicIsTheAnswer #OrganicAgriculture #SustainableFuture #Climatesmart #Pollinators #OrganicallyGrown
