Friends of Mud City Press,

We live in one of the most fertile valley’s in the United States. We have the farmland and the soil quality to grow more than 200 food crops, and yet ninety-five percent of what we eat comes from outside the Willamette Valley—most of it from more than 1500 miles away. At the same time, sixty percent of what we grow here in the valley is grass for grass seed. With oil prices climbing and freight costs and food prices with them, why aren’t we growing more food right here?

Afterward there will be a panel discussion including Linda Kelley, Food for Lane County, Jan Spencer, urban permaculturist, Charlotte Anthony, Eugene’s Victory Gardens, Aleta Miller, Urban to Farm Connection, and Dan Armstrong, Mud City Press Editor.
