The Organic Summit Benefit Reception and dinner gathered nearly 200 people to support OFRF's research, education and advocacy programs. The dinner was held at the beautiful Mt. Hood Organic Farm located on 210 acres in the Hood River Valley. a working organic farm that Brady and John Jacobson have devoted great care to for more than 20 years. The menu showcased the wonderful food culture of the Northwest, highlighted great local organic producers and even inspired our caterer to commit to using exclusively organic flours and butter for her future events!

The event was held in conjunction with The Organic Summit, a gathering of organic leaders held June 3-5 at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington.

Thanks to everyone who shared this wonderful evening with us. We hope you will continue to support OFRF's programs in this year of tremendous opportunity for organic agriculture.
