		<title>Ten Rivers&#8217; New Staff Person</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Kate Griffin plunged into her new job as an Americoprs VISTA volunteer with Ten Rivers Food Web a few days early – literally. In a kayak. One wouldn&#8217;t expect a job working with farmers and food issues to involve floating down the Willamette River, but the great grandson of a granary owner in the 1880&#8242;s, recently purchased grains from local growers—something that had been impossible for years—and wanted to honor both his heritage and the fact people can again support and be nourished by staples from local farms. Why not ...]]></description>

		<title>Taking a Farmers&#8217; Market into Neighborhoods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Leslyn Rassmussen has been selling her produce at various farmers&#8217; markets for at least a decade and enjoys the interactions with customers. An idea took root over time and is finally bearing fruit. Earlier this year, Leslyn discussed her idea with another market vendor and friend, Del Vandeveer of Pilar Farm of Albany: she wanted to take the market directly to neighborhoods on their non-market days. Del thought it was a great idea so they put the word out and were invited to set up at Camas Commons, a lovely ...]]></description>

		<title>Bean and Grain Tours Show Project Has Legs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Southern Willamette Valley Bean and Grain Project hosted two farm tours in mid-August.  Attendees were treated to views of ripening crops, stories from farmers, wonderful meals with many locally-grown and organic ingredients, and live music.  Coming away from these events, it struck me that each season, project organizers continue to solve problems, make progress, and move ahead toward local self-reliance.  The grand goal of providing the Willamette Valley with locally grown and processed organic staples (beans, grains, and edible seeds) moves closer to reality every year.
The big news this ...]]></description>

		<title>GMOs In Our Own Backyard:Latest Update &#8211; Good News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: Judge Jeffrey S. White of the Federal District Court in San Francisco issued a decision on September 21, 2009, that the Department of Agriculture should have completed an environmental impact statement (EIS) before approving the planting of genetically modified sugar beets. Thus, they failed to assess the consequences from the likely spread of the genetically engineered traits to the related crops (Swiss chard and red table beets), as well as other sugar beets.]]></description>

		<title>Peppers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The only bad thing about local peppers in summer is you know they&#8217;ll soon be just a memory. Such stunners one finds at the Farmers&#8217; Market, if not in your own garden. Colors so rich and varied you can create recipes around pepper hues alone.
The reds are especially sweet and mouth-watering. I slice them thin into a green bean salad with Swiss cheese and a cilantro vinaigrette. It&#8217;s as pretty as it is tasty. Oh yes, and top the salad with chopped Oregon hazelnuts. Divine. Of course, yellow, green or ...]]></description>
