The 3rd annual Winter Vegetable Sagra (festival) is a celebration to learn about, taste and become enamored with winter squash, celeriac, garlic, cabbage, cauliflower, radicchio and Brussels sprouts grown right here in Oregon. Attendees learn about locally grown foods and where to buy them, and how to store, prepare and cook vegetables and grains.

They also have the opportunity to taste home-cook-friendly recipes created by chefs, food advocates and nutritionists including: Cook With What You Have, Umi Organic (we’re making yakisoba with Brussels!), Real Good Food, Food Art Love, Joule Crafted Nutrition, Wildflower Baking, Mian PDX, Tournant, The Side Yard Farm and Kitchen, National University of Naturopathic Medicine and more.

The event is hosted in conjunction with the 5th annual Friends of Family Farmers’ Fill Your Pantry - a one-day winter stock-up market and a great opportunity to meet and support your local farmers and ranchers. Producers will have a bounty of locally grown winter veggies, fruit, nuts, frozen pasture-raised meats, honey, dry beans, grains, and much more.
