Come help spread chips at one of Santa Clara’s lesser known gems, Wendover Park. This four and a half acre park includes a natural area along the East Santa Clara Waterway. The waterway has a trove of flora and fauna including an active beaver population, river otter, wood ducks and more!

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

Recently I’ve been fielding questions about plastics recycling. In particular the new development that #1 and #2 bottles, jugs, and jars are being accepted again in curbside containers and at transfer stations. Here is the Lane County flyer describing recycling options.
