NEW! Food for Thought Series

The Port of Port Townsend <https://quimpergrange.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=59a5d4944307d96b3128fccfe&id=5d56eab512&e=97d3d8936d> is pleased to discuss the Short’s Family Farm
at the Quimper Grange. The farm was purchased in 2023 and the Port took possession of the farm on September 1st, 2024. At the meeting, Port Director Eron Berg and Deputy Director Eric
Toews will share the current status of the Short’s Family Farm, the intention behind the acquisition of the farm, details of the recently approved Farm Plan, and will address questions
from the audience.
Food For Thought, a free monthly series offered by the Quimper Grange #720, will examine 'all things food' in our area. Granges (derived from “grain” or “granja” [farm]) were grassroots
organizations that sprung up across the United States in the 1860s to build strength and community among rural farmers. For over 100 years, the Quimper Grange has supported the Jefferson
County community through public programming, concerts, dance, rental space, and a 7,000 sq ft all-volunteer garden which annually donates an average of 2,500 pounds to area Food Banks
and meal-providing entities around our County.
Doors open at 6:15 pm. Admission is free, and all are welcome - the Grange has ADA access and an outstanding Merv-13 air filtration system. Future presentations will occur on the 2nd
Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm.
