SUMMARY:Rogue Flavor Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The Rogue Valley Food System Network proudly announces the inaugural Rogue Flavor\nShowcase — a celebration of Southern Oregon’s remarkable food and agricultural identity\,\ntaking place from 2 to 7PM on the grounds of the historic Bigham Knoll campus in Jacksonville.\nPart culinary festival\, part agricultural fair\, part community gathering\, the Showcase is an\ninvitation to taste\, sip\, discover\, learn\, and connect with the people and the land that make this\nregion unlike anywhere else on earth.\n“Our food is a great expression of place”; said Alison Hensley Sexauer of the Rogue Valley Food\nSystem Network. “You taste the terroir in our wines\, our cheeses\, our pears. You experience it in\na ferment crafted from vegetables grown just down the road. The Rogue Flavor Showcase is a\nchance for all of us — residents and visitors alike — to slow down\, pay attention\, and truly savor\nwhat we have here.”\nThe Showcase brings together an extraordinary and growing lineup of Southern Oregon’s finest\nmakers\, representing every corner of the valley’s food and drink culture. Rogue Creamery —\nwhose blue cheese has earned world championship recognition — joins Mama Terra Micro\nCreamery from the Applegate Valley\, bringing the art of small-batch\, terroir-driven\ncheesemaking to the table from two distinct corners of the region. Troon Vineyards\, farming\nthe Applegate biodynamically for decades\, pours alongside Circadian Cellars and her bold\,\nexpressive wines\, and Arpeggio Vineyard — adding yet another voice to Southern Oregon’s\nremarkable and diverse wine story.\nThis isn’t a farmers market. The inaugural Rogue Flavor Showcase is a gathering of the full\necosystem of people who make this valley delicious. It’s a celebration of those who grow\, raise\,\nferment\, bake\, brew\, and create the foods and beverages that make this region extraordinary. \nOn the Culinary Stage\, local chefs will demonstrate the art of cooking with the valleys seasonal\nharvest. Chef Stacey Givens of Side Yard Farm & Kitchen brings her seed-to-plate philosophy\ndirectly from her farm. Chef Carl Krause of Wilder Cooking — known for what his collaborators\ncall  — transforms whatever the valley offers into something delicious. Two\nother chefs include Kristen Lyon of Jefferson Farm Kitchen and Chef Dee of Gourmet\nVegetarian.\nBeyond the tasting and the cooking demonstrations\, the Showcase offers something rarer: the\nchance to learn. Two educational sessions bring depth and meaning to the afternoon.\nFood trucks Pistolas featuring locally made sausages\, Grip n Grub\, Slow Burn BBQ\, and the\nFarm Bus Bistro\, round out a day that is as much feast as festival.\nWander through a vibrant collection of local farms\, food artisans\, food trucks\, and beverage\nmakers. Taste what this valley can do — and meet the people who make it happen.\nThe Showcase also features the Rogue Flavor Industry Exchange from 12:30 to 1:30PM — an\nRSVP-only session bringing together farmers\, artisan makers\, chefs\, restaurant owners\,\ndistributors\, and institutional buyers for intentional conversations about sourcing relationships\,\nlocal food partnerships\, and the future of the regional food economy.\nEvent tickets are $20\, including a commemorative glass. Children 12 and under are free.\nFor tickets and full event details\, visit: rvfoodsystem.org/rogue-flavor-showcase.\nOther vendors include: the Salty Goat Creamery\, Southern Oregon Sourdough\, Itty Bitty Acres\nFarm\, Lerato Luxe Artisan Chocolate\, Good Life Farm Oregon\, Farm & Flour\, Wildriver Black\nGarlic\, Whistling Duck Farm\, You Say Tomato\, Siskiyou Seeds\, Cara Cara Sauce\, Joey’s Hot\nSauce\, All Our Kin Farm\, Rusted Gate Farm\, Grebenniki Farm\, Salant Family Ranch\, Spicy\nMamacita Cantina\, Della Rose Pasta Co.\, Harvest Moon Acres\, Heaven Sent Farm\, Carpenter Hill\nCreamery\, Rogue Valley Heritage Grain Project\, Josephine County Farm Collective\, Applegate\nMobile Market\, and others.\nThe Rogue Flavor Showcase is made possible in part by a Specialty Crop Block Grant from the\nOregon Department of Agriculture along with numerous local and regional sponsor partners\nincluding Travel Southern Oregon\, Medford Food Coop\, Market of Choice\, Ashland Food Coop\,\nRogue Creamery\, Oregon State University Extension\, Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce and\nothers.
