Talking food

The workshop will examine how food is part of a local and global system through topics such as local foods in local restaurants, community-supported agriculture, and becoming a food co-op.

The local food series is informal and fun, and features an open question-and-answer format.
Conversations are held from 6 to 8 p.m. at Colette’s, a North Bend café, and will continue through July. For more information on the food conversation series, those interested can call 888-7057, e-mail shawna.behm@gmail.com or visit http://www.orcca.us.
