In June, Steve Campbell, grass-fed cattle rancher and farmer consultant from Idaho, will discuss the concept of clean soil vs. dirty minerals from chemical fertilizers at InFARMation.

The concept of “clean” food has become an issue that eaters are thinking and talking about, due in part to recent food safety scares.

The second Tuesday of each month presents an opportunity to bring the issues that Oregon family farmers face onto the radar of urban consumers. The topic changes each month, but always focuses on the larger picture of the connection between food and farms in our state. When eaters connect with farmers, it makes our food web stronger, and real changes in our local food system are possible.
