Field day to learn more about organic farming research with the OSU Organic Agriculture Program Extension team, featuring projects on naked barley and other small grains, dry beans and pulses.

OSU researchers will share findings from dry-farming variety trials, including tomatoes, sorghum, cowpeas, melons, okra, corn, cut flowers, and seed-production plots.

The event is dedicated to illuminating the importance of organic seed and advancing a more inclusive plant-breeding process that engages everyone across the food system.

Produced by the Culinary Breeding Network and Wellspent Market, this wildly popular summer celebration highlights the diversity and deliciousness of tomatoes. Taste unreleased varieties from Oregon State University’s tomato breeding program, explore dry-farmed tomatoes and melons, and meet the farmers and researchers behind more flavorful, resilient crops.

This year’s event also features buckwheat in collaboration with the WSU Breadlab, celebrating the possibilities of this delicious climate-resilient crop. Free, outdoors, and open to the public.

Join us for the Sagra del Radicchio e Fagioli - an epic community lovefest - a celebration of radicchio, beans and the passionate people who grow, cook and gather around them.

Also the release party for Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable - a book born from this community and celebrating the growers, chefs, breeders, and eaters who helped transform radicchio from a little-known Italian vegetable into a movement.
