Building Sustainable Farms. Expanding Local Food Access.
At Eat SO Local, we believe everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy, local food. We partner with beginning farmers to provide training, mentorship, and resources that help them succeed, while expanding pathways for communities to connect with wholesome, regionally grown foods. Through education, marketplace connections, and community workshops, we work toward a more just, sustainable, and resilient food system for Southern Oregon.
