Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund has an incredibly special event planned in October! This unique farm-to-table dinner in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon is a fundraiser that will support independent farms, and fight harmful, pending regulations that will affect Oregon’s small farmers.
FTCLDF is holding a locally sourced, farm-to-table dinner and regenerative farm tour in conjunction with The Ground,an ecosystem of businesses connecting farms, food and people through loving hospitality, in McMinnville, Oregon. This special dinner event will be held at the beautiful Stillwater venue and feature locally-sourced ingredients and Willamette Valley wines.

“Empowering and Sustaining Oregon Family Farms”

Saturday, October 28, 2023, at 6 in the evening
Stillwater, McMinnville, OR
Monies raised from the dinner and farm tours will support FTCLDF’s work providing legal representation and policy changes to support Oregon’s independent farming community.
FTCLDF and its members are currently mounting a legal challenge against industry-backed and oppressive regulation aimed at treating small regenerative farms as harmful, concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which of course, they are not!
Under the proposed regulations, even small livestock operations, such as horse farms, could be affected!
