What is a Sagra?
The 2025 Fill Your Pantry event will feature TRFW's third annual Winter Vegetable Sagra -- a food festival focused on local seasonal vegetables. At the event, local chefs will spotlight winter produce through cooking demonstrations and tastings. In Italy, sagra is the word for a local festival. You can learn more about Oregon's local food sagra concept, led by the Culinary Breeding Network, on their website.

What if I cannot attend on event day?
Unfortunately we are not able to store orders beyond the event. We suggest you pre-order during the online sales period and ask a friend to pick up your order. They'll just need your name and order number and have them check in at the welcome table.

What if I am a SNAP recipient?
Eligible SNAP purchases can be made at the event or you can pre-order during the online sales period and pay for your order on event day. When available, we'll use "Fill Your Neighbor's Pantry" funds to help boost your purchase. Check our event page on Facebook for updates on availability.

What can I do to make local food more accessible to others?
When you place your pre-order online, you may choose to "tip" a percentage of your purchase or any dollar amount towards the Fill Your Neighbor's Pantry fund. Or, to support your neighbors without making a preorder, you can donate to TRFW here and check the box to support “FIll Your Neighbor’s Pantry.”We distribute these funds to SNAP recipients to boost their purchasing power at the event.
