What to do with the bounty of Oregon’s harvest

It’s that time of year when many Oregonians are enjoying an abundance of garden produce. Evergreen host Jenn Chávez learned about making blackberry jam and got some advice on what to do with her own garden peppers from Heather Arndt Anderson, the food writer and culinary historian behind OPB’s Superabundant newsletter. OPB’s Crystal Ligori offers us a window into the history of Oregon’s fish canning industry as well as its future. And we get to visit ōkta farm, where food preservation is key to one restaurant’s farm-to-table model.    You can read more about Pacific Northwest foods and sign up for the Superabundant newsletter here.   For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.
