The Whole Plate hosts a working Farm Tour on 5/22 at Vinegar Flats Garden, 2-5pm. More details soon, but a fantastic chance to tour an urban farm and help them put the season's crops in the ground! RSVP here.

Our local partner, the Save Our Wild Salmon Coaltion, has spots open for a fantastic river trip, May 22-26!

River Hero Brock Evans, nationally recognized for his work to protect the rivers and forests of the Northwest, will be along on the trip with his sons.  Brock fought the building of lower Granite dam on the lower Snake River, worked with local citizens to halt further dams up into Hells Canyon, and continues to be a passionate defender of Northwest rivers and salmon to this day as President of the Endangered Species Coalition.   And he is a great storyteller.  Can't wait for the campfire chats.

To: Sam Mace <s...@wildsalmon.org>

And the Grande Ronde makes for a beautiful float this time of year.  The wildflowers, birds, wildlife and green scenery are spectacular.  Nothing better than watching bighorn sheep kids cavorting on the hillside while drinking the morning cuppa Joe.  Personally, I can't wait!!!
