Local is always better!

Becky Benally

I already do via home delivery of fresh local produce from Farm2Friends! Customizable based on family size and frequency you desire.

Jennifer

FYI Farm2Friends is usually not local or organic. Watch out for "greenwashing"

Jon Krutsch

Depends on what is considered local. 50 miles, 100 miles, 1000 miles?

Justine Nicola Kingston

Fresh local food not only tastes better, but it supports our local farmers. No brainer.

Gabe West

Local????? I see very few farms in C.O. growing produce unless you eat hay and alfalfa.

Jennifer

Open your eyes Bob. There are probably 50 farms in Central Oregon growing a full array of fruit & vegetables. And if you expand "local" to the Willamette Valley, literally everything is grown in Oregon.

If you can't find local grow food, meat and or produce, you're not looking. Lots of Great food grown here. Thank you Central Oregon Farmers.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
