    If you like truffles or just want to check out gourmands in Eugene, you might enjoy the marketplace at the Oregon Truffle Festival.  All events but the Marketplace are sold out. It’s $15 to get in/$20 with a wine glass, and you’ll see demos and taste truffled products.

  • Feb. 19-21. University of Oregon Food Justice Conference.  This is a major  interdisciplinary academic conference on food politics, featuring both local and national issues and speakers.  There is also an art exhibition and a food fair.  I’ll be writing more about these events soon, but urge you now to browse the program and save the dates!
