Beaver Ridge Farm Has Natural Lambs and Poultry

Beaver Ridge Farm, located on North Beaver Creek, offers natural lambs, will have organically fed poultry, and will be selling started pullets as soon as they can be sexed and are ready to go. If interested, folks should call 541-563-5385. Costs will vary depending on age of chicken at sale (feed costs affect cost of the chicken). We will also have organic eggs for sale in the fall - not yet sorry.
New email address for the farm: beaverridgefarm@gmail.com.

LC Community F.E.A.S.T. deemed a Success

Lincoln County Community FEAST (Food*Education*Agriculture*Solutions*Together) Workshop was held on Saturday, April 2nd from 10am to 4pm at the Oregon Coast Community College with a local foods lunch provided. The FEAST workshop, organized by Chloe Rico, TRFW's RARE grant recipient, co-hosted by the Lincoln Co. Extension Local Foods and the Lincoln County Local Foods Group, and facilitated by Sharon Thornberry, Community Food Systems Manager at Oregon Food Bank, is a way to gather input about the direction our community wants to see for their food and agriculture.

The day featured a local panel painting the picture of food, fisheries, agriculture, farm to school, education programs, public health and food retail in our area after which workshop broke into focus groups centered around networking & communications, production & processing, education, and access.

Help Us Form the New Lincoln Co. Local Foods Group

Are you interested in strengthening access to
local foods, farms and fisheries?
Are you interested in shaping the direction
of Lincoln County’s food system?

Please join us:
Wednesday, January 19th
1:30pm to 3:30pm
Lincoln County Extension Office Conference Room
(29 SE 2nd Street, Newport)

The Lincoln County Extension Office is sponsoring this gathering with the goal of pulling like-minded people together to form a community group focused on food and agriculture in Lincoln County.

We will be joined by Sharon Thornberry, Community Resource Developer for Oregon Food Bank and recipient of the 2009 Billi Odegaard Public Health Genius Award for her work on strengthening food systems throughout Oregon and by Jeff Feldner, Oregon Sea Grant Extension Fisheries and Seafood Specialist who will speak on ways to integrate our seafood industry into the local foods movement.

We hope this group will set strategies and goals for strengthening our local food system. What would you like to see accomplished by a group focused on supporting Lincoln County community food efforts? How would you increase awareness and access to local foods and agriculture? This is your opportunity to share your ideas and take action to make them happen.
