A note from our Executive Director:

This year has been all about momentum. As an organization, Rogue Valley Food System Network took on the huge task of clarifying, refining and defining our vision and declaring clear goals and objectives to ensure our success in actualizing our mission over the coming years. In 2021 we focused on building strong partnerships, inviting new voices to the table, securing funds, and laying groundwork for focused and engaging convenings and an updated community- wide food assessment. We have grown our staff, we continue to grow our community, and we feel honored to help support our local food system partners in growing a more resilient and accessible food system for all.

Partner Businesses and Organizations

Over the course of 2021, we worked with the following 59 businesses and organizations in a variety of ways: shared grant writing responsibilities and funding, mutual support, and collaborative initiatives and events. Businesses listed in the Rogue Flavor Guide and those who donated to our auction fundraiser are not included below but you can find them online and in the RFG.
