Ten Rivers Food Web, a nonprofit organization that serves residents in Benton, Linn and Lincoln counties, will host its one-day farmers’ market known as Fill Your Pantry from noon-3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, in Guerber Hall at the Benton County Fairgrounds.
Organizers said the event offers bulk quantities of beans, grains, storage crops, meats and preserves. Payment through SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is accepted.
“We believe this is a great way to encourage local eating throughout the fall and winter months,” Anna Perry of the Fill Your Pantry Planning Committee said through a news release. “It also allows our local food farmers, ranchers, orchardists and beekeepers to move large quantities of produce before the slower winter season.”
The event will again feature this year the Winter Vegetable Sagra — a food festival with local chefs spotlighting winter produce through cooking demonstrations and tastings.
Online preordering opens Sept. 28 and continues through Oct. 20.
