What to bring?

Anything from Nourishing Traditions, the Healthy 4 Life booklet or Recipes of the Week would be wonderful.  A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats is always a great contribution.

Some examples include: a roasted chicken or other meat, meat and vegetable casserole, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, pastured egg quiche or other egg dish, organic salad with homemade dressing, steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce, fermented vegetables, fresh or cooked fruit with raw whipped cream.  If you come to the potlucks regularly, please try to bring a dish from a different category every so often.

Bring enough to share with everyone and be sure to include some traditional fats!

Children and guests welcome.  Please bring serving utensils for your dish.  Thanks!

Pastured Poultry in Southern Oregon

This comes to us from a local farmer:

 

Hi Lisa, Hensel Family Farms raised pastured poultry in Rogue River this season.  You can see more here www.henselfamilyfarms.com

The poultry is processed in a ODA licensed facility at the farm. Happy to provide more information to your group as needed. If there was a group order we would be happy to deliver them to Eugene. Winter is coming and he will likely be sold out by the end of October.

Jim

 

If anyone would like to coordinate a group order, our WAPFEugene list would be a great place to do it.

Pasture-Raised Chickens Available

This comes to us from one of our local Eugene Chapter members:

We are they Dealy Family from Lorane.  We live on a 22-acre farm w/ milk goats, beef cows, meat rabbits & an assortment of poultry.

We have raised meat chickens for ourselves for 7 years & this year decided to raise a batch to sell.  The chickens are pasture-raised to give them access to lots of bugs & grass.  Their feed is certified organic.  The water is from a pure spring.  We live next to an organic farm; their are no commercial farms in the area that use chemicals.

These chickens are Red Broilers, which are slower growing than the standard Cornish Cross.   We plan to butcher on Sat. June 23.  The birds will be available after that for  $4.75/lb. bagged & frozen.  They will be about 4 lbs. each.  We have 24 available.

If this goes well, we will consider doing it again in the fall.  If you have questions or suggestions, please call Elaine at 541.942.6914.  ~~ We also have fresh eggs, raw goat milk, organ meats, chicken feet & butchered rabbit for sale.
