That’s My Farmer is not a Weston Price event, but it fits right in with our recent talk about where to find local foods. Please check them out!
That’s My Farmer is a unique partnership between 13 Eugene faith communities and 12 area farms. This annual ‘meet the farmers’ event is held every April to showcase local CSA programs and encourage people to buy direct from their farmers and eat the best and most nutritious food on God’s earth.
CSA participants buy directly from local farms. Households pay at the beginning of the growing season to share the risk with farm families and give them much needed cash flow to sustain their farm businesses. In return, investing families receive a box of fresh farm products each week throughout the growing season. Most CSA programs deliver fruits and vegetables; some include products such as meat, eggs, honey, cheese and bread.
Celebrate the farmers who grow our food and steward our land at this fun, family-friendly event. All proceeds from the event go to the That’s My Farmer Low Income Fund, which subsidizes CSA shares for families in need. Anyone can contribute to the TMF Low Income Fund at any time throughout the year.

This is not a Eugene Chapter event. I include it here as a service to our members:
I want to invite you to one of our “Go Solar, Oregon!” community meetings happening across the state this month. Can you make it?
We have a big opportunity this year to repower Oregon with clean, renewable solar energy by passing a series of bills through the State Legislature that would bring us 10 times more solar power by 2025. Not surprisingly, big utilities and polluters are already lining up to stop our legislators from acting.
Come to one our 11 “Go Solar, Oregon!” community meetings to demonstrate to key decision-makers just how ready we are for more solar power.
At the community meeting, you’ll hear from solar companies, local elected officials, and solar advocates about Oregon’s potential to repower itself with clean, renewable solar energy- and you’ll have the chance to get all of your questions answered.
Eugene: April 1 at 6pm
University of Oregon, Lawrence Hall Room 115
Let’s make Oregon a solar leader together!
Best,
Rikki Seguin – Environment Oregon Lead Advocate
There are meetings throughout Oregon in March and April. Attached are two files with more information.

My son and I just got back from attending the March Against Monsanto 2014. This was my second year attending (for 2013 see: March Against Monsanto – In Review). Despite the fact that the turn-out for the march was smaller this year, the movement is definitely growing! Just four days ago both Jackson & Josephine Counties passed bans on growing GMO crops in these counties!
There is a Right To Know GMO labeling petition being circulated now for the November election. For those of you who would like to sign, please come to one of our upcoming events, as I will be bringing petitions and collecting signatures.
For those of you who still don’t understand why we oppose GMOs, take a look at Jeffery Smith’s talkat the Wise Traditions Conference.
 K'nex No-GMO Sign The Sign:
Before leaving home my 8-year-old son decided he had to make a custom sign for the event. He designed and constructed a K’nex handle and frame that held a foam core sign in the center. He was putting the finishing touches on it in the van as we drove into town. I told him it would be the only sign like it! I am very proud of his dedication and creativity. He got a lot of complements on his sign while we were marching, which helped make the event enjoyable for him.
The March:
 A few marched in the street It was another lovely Spring day, with nearly perfect weather for marching. As last year, we gathered at the Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza. There were a few speakers (which I could have done without), and then we finally got to marching at 1 PM. Last year we were told to stay on the sidewalk, and when we got to a corner keep going, we had permission to cross against the lights. This year were told to stay on the sidewalk and stop at the lights. Some energetic young activists chose to march in the street anyway.
Here are a few of the sign slogans I captured in photos:
People in cars honked as we marched. My son counted 37 honks before he gave up on counting (there were at least double that number).
We marched through down town, past 5th Street Public Market and up over Ferry Street Bridge. This year we stayed on the far side of the river, so we did not cross back the other way on the bridge and get to see the length of the line down both sides (see the awesome sight from last year). We paused on the bridge for a few minutes and waved our signs. Then we headed down the bike path into the park.
 Music, Speakers & Booths at Alton Baker Park Music & Speakers:
At the end of the march we gathered in Alton Baker Park. There was a stage with live music and a few booths set up. We got a picnic lunch out of the car and ate it on the grass (or at least most of it. A dog on a leash came by and swiped a whole nitrate-free beef hotdog off our tray!). Coconut Bliss was selling ice cream and giving all proceeds to the Right to Know GMO labeling cause. The music was had a lovely Latin beat and a few people danced. Most people visited and enjoyed the music and speakers and checked out the booths before heading home.
One of the speakers was a woman who told us the story of her daughter having brain cancer. They tested the urine of both herself and her daughter and found that they contained Roundup (Monsanto’s weedkiller), at a rate much higher than average Americans. Their rates were 15 for the mom and 18 for the daughter. She said that the average in America is 7, and in Europe it is 1! The good news is that the daughter is cancer-free 10 years later. They had the testing done through Moms Across America.
 "Fishy Soybean" Car A Few Tips for Planners in 2015:
My advice to event organizers for next year is to save the speakers for after the march. It feels good to lie in the grass after the march and listen to speakers. Before the event we were just antsy to get going, and I heard that at least one person had to leave before the march began. I say get moving before the energy starts to wane and you’ll have more energetic marchers!
My other suggestion is to pick ONE easy chant to use. There were people up and down the line who were supposed to be leading us in chants, but each one was different and out of sync with the next. The best one in my opinion was “Hey, hey, ho, ho, GMO, has got to go!” Simple, easy. Stick with it.
Overall it was an enjoyable experience and I am glad I went and glad my son joined me this year. I hope by the time he grows up we have joined the 64 other countries around the world who have already banned GMOs, and he can spend his energies working on other goals.
I just wanted to let you know about an important event this weekend.
The worldwide March Against Monsanto takes place this Saturday, May 24th.
Saturday, May 24, 2014
Time: 12:00 PM
Wayne Morse Free Speech plaza (8th and Oak St)
There are over 350 marches planned to take place at the exact same time around the world, including in every major US city.
Last year I took part in the march here in Eugene.
The most wonderful sight was when we marched across the Ferry Street Bridge. We marched along the East side of the bridge, looped around underneath, and then when we marched back along the West side of the bridge. Our line of Marchers covered BOTH sides of the bridge! Cars honked in support. It was an awesome sight!
Here is my 27 second video of the line of marchers on Ferry Street Bridge.
For more photos and my impressions of last year’s event, read March Against Monsanto – In Review.

It is like being in a parade! The children don’t need to understand the full ramifications of GMOs to participate. My son is planning to come with me. Come march with us!
