Events around the Portland Metro this month:
March 13th
InFARMation (and Beer!) at Holocene
5:30pm-8:30pm
Topic: Chickens in the City, Chickens in the State
"Our panelists this month will cover keeping chickens in the city, and also discuss the larger picture of poultry in Oregon. Have you noticed how hard it is to find pastured poultry to buy, especially at grocery stores and restaurants? Most Portlanders at least have a neighbor with chickens, so why isn’t pastured chicken abundantly available? Our speakers this month includes Joe and Karen Schueller, ranchers from Rainshadow El Rancho and co-founders and operators of Scio Poultry Processing, Heather Havens, general manager of Concentrates, Inc, and Karen Wolfgang, owner and project coordinator for Independence Gardens."
Cost: Free

Children are welcome to come along."
