Third Annual Civil War Brew-Off a Smashing Success!

On November 2, the Oregon State Coalition of Graduate Employees (CGE) partnered with the University of Oregon Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (GTFF) to host the third annual Civil War Brew-Off. Homebrewers from both organizations went head-to-head for bragging rights and the coveted Brew-Off Cup.

Linn Benton Food Share and our community was the big winner of the evening. The Brew-Off raised $3,383.97 and more than 500 pounds of food for LBFS, which will make a huge impact this season!

Many thanks to CGE and GTFF for their efforts and generosity, as well as everyone that participated in the event!

SNAP Incentive Program Offers More Food for the Money

The "That's My Farmer" program will be providing a bounty of fresh, local food to SNAP recipients this winter.

Every time a customer spends at least $6 at a participating farmers’ market using his/her Oregon Trail card, they receive an extra $6 in farmers’ market tokens. For customers who shop at the market each week, that adds up to $24 a month to spend on fresh foods that support our local economy.

The Lincoln County Fairgrounds Farmers’ Market will continue to run through the winter on Saturdays from 10am-2pm through March.
