The Night The Next Chapter Is Announced

Central Oregon is growing. The question is not whether growth will happen.
The question is whether our local food system will grow with it.

For 17 years, Central Oregon Locavore has proven a simple truth: when communities intentionally support local agriculture, farmers thrive and families gain access to fresh, regional food.

On April 24, we rise.
Rooted & Rising marks the public launch of Phase One of Locavore’s multi-year expansion, including the Westside satellite market, a defining moment where vision becomes action and strategy becomes public.

Seats are limited. The room is curated.
The announcement only happens once.
