Food: Vision

We are fed primarily by food which is locally produced, using practices that renew and enrich the land and community.


Food: Goals

1. By 2020, 60% of the food consumed by the Corvallis population is grown or produced in Benton, Linn, Lincoln, or Lane County.

2.By 2020, all Corvallis residents will have access at all times to enough food for an active and healthy life.

3. By 2020, 80% of all local land area in family and community food-producing gardens and in small and mid-sized farms will be managed using accepted practices
for “Sustainable Food Growing.”*

Food: Current Projects

1. The Local 6 Connection aims to increase demand for food produced in the six counties surrounding Corvallis: Benton, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, and Polk.

2. The Corvallis Garden Forum aims to build community among Corvallis gardeners by fostering sharing of ideas and supplies.

3. The Corvallis Garden Resource Guide makes it easy for gardeners to find what they need, including workshops and publications, neighborhood groups, community gardens, seeds and supplies, produce donation opportunities, and backyard poultry resources.
