Fill Your pantry 2022

Santa Clara’s Small is Beautiful Farmstand and many other local small farms will be at the Fill Your Pantry event this Saturday. Fill Your Pantry is a unique opportunity to buy staple and storage crops in bulk directly from area farmers. Buying and storing local crops is a tangible way you can support our small farms and ensure that you eat local all winter.

For some farms, this event makes a big difference in their financial stability as it helps them extend and expand their late season crops. For eaters, Fill Your Pantry offers a chance to stock up on a wide variety of long-lasting veggies, fruits, grains, beans, frozen foods, meat, honey, and more. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted at Fill Your Pantry.

When: Find us at Willamette Farm and Food Coalition’s 2022 Fill Your Pantry event on
Sunday, November 13th from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM!

Where: We’ll be at the Agricultural Pavilion at the Lane Events Center! The address is
796 W 13th Ave, Eugene OR, 97402 (west of the Rink Exchange).
