Local Resources Around Eugene

At our December potluck the topic of where to find certain food items came up, and people shared some good suggestions. I don't remember many of them anymore (this is why I need a volunteer to take notes at the meetings), but I would like to start a local sources list.

In addition to the Lane County Farmers' Market, local farms, and our wonderful selection of natural food stores in Eugene, below are a few local stores that I have found to be particularly useful for finding specific foods.

Grass-fed beef, organ meats and bones:

Long's Meat Market
81 E. 28th Ave.
Eugene, OR
phone: (541) 344-3172
email: info@longsmeatmarket.com

Local beef, organ meats, dog food and bones: (pasture & grain-fed - no feed-lots)

Bright Oaks Meats
660 Main Street
Springfield, OR
phone: (541) 726-6913

Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork and poultry:

Wild-caught fish, seafood and fish roe:

Pomegranates is now focusing on catering and classes.
New phone: (541) 543-4121.
Email: pomegranates@comcast.net
(Darn! I am almost out of my caviar!)

Raw nuts and coconut oil:

Hummingbird Wholesale
254 Lincoln S.
Eugene, OR
phone: (541) 686- 0921
fax: (541) 686-6168
www.hummingbirdwholesale.com

Coconut oil, organic herbs

Mountain Rose Herbs
Pleasant Hill, OR
phone: (800) 879-3337
www.mountainroseherbs.com
(For local pick-up - place order by phone, then give 24 hours before pick-up.)

This is just the beginning of a list to get you thinking about it, so please send me your suggestions.

In December, I also received my "Shopping Guide 2009" from The Weston A. Price Foundation. WAPF sends out this little booklet to all members each year. It provides "recommended brand names and helps you make wise decisions in the grocery store."

If you know of local sources for items listed in this booklet, or other products that should be listed in it, please send them to me. I am really disappointed that the little Russian market in West Eugene closed, because I have not been able to find another local store that carries smoked cod liver. Believe it or not, it was really tasty!

Meeting & Potluck Dinner

Monday, January 12, 2008
6:00 to 8:00 PM

Location:
At the home of Ellen Singer
1025 Elkay Dr., Eugene

Directions: From the north:

Take River Road exit from Beltline left/south onto River Road. Go about a mile and a half, pass traffic lights at Horn Lane and Hilliard. Turn right onto Elkay Drive, just in front of "River Road Medical Group".

From the south:

Take Chambers Street north until it turns into River Road. Turn left onto Elkay Drive (you'll see River Rd. Medical Group on the left).

Once on Elkay Drive:

1025 Elkay Drive is about 1/2 mile from River Road. Look for the big wooden fence with big black wrought iron gate. Park parallel to the fence in the grassy area outside the gate, not in the driveway. Come in through the gate (which may be hard to open), up the brick steps (watch out, they can be slippery when wet).

Phone: Ellen's number is 689-3968

Bring a Dish
Please bring a Nourishing Traditions style dish and join us for some great food and great conversation! Families and guests are welcome. Please bring enough food to feed the size of your party, and your recipe on a 3x5 card or notepaper (we are collecting these and will eventually compile a recipe book).

RSVP:
We appreciate an RSVP (info@krautpounder.com) if you think you will be attending so that we have a rough idea of how many people to expect, but feel free to just show up.

Monthly Potluck/Meetings:
Our potluck meetings are regularly scheduled on the second Monday of each month.

Host a Potluck:
We also need a volunteer to host the potluck on February 9th. Let us know if you would like to host an upcoming potluck.

New to all of this?
For those of you who are new to The Weston A. Price Foundation principals please see the Dietary Guidelines and Characteristics of Traditional Diets for a brief overview, and then get a copy of the book Nourishing Traditions for in-depth information and recipes.

"The Popcorn Review"

"Immunity, Vaccinations and Infectious Disease in Children"

by Phillip Incao, MD

Friday, January 23, 2008
7:30 to 9:00 PM

Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room

This was scheduled for December, but it was cancelled due to weather conditions. We are offering it again this month.

Dr. Philip Incao has had an active general practice of anthroposophic medicine since 1973, mostly in rural upstate New York, more recently in Denver, Colorado. He was featured in the July-August, 2003 Mothering magazine article, "The Healing Crisis: Don't Worry Mom-I'm Just Growing!"

Dr. Incao's special interest is strengthening the health of children against the increasing spirit-weakening influences of modern life, especially in education and healthcare. He lectures in Waldorf communities nationwide on the practical applications of a spiritual yet scientific understanding of the human being to healing and to education. He is also a member of the advisory boards of Alive and Well AIDS Information Network in Los Angeles, the National Vaccine Information Center in Virginia, and the Foundation for Health Choice in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Incao writes a regular medical column "The Doctor Speaks" for the quarterly magazine of healthy living, Lilipoh.

Three of Dr. Incao's essays on children's health are included in the book The Vaccination Dilemma, edited by Christine Murphy and published by Lantern Books, also available from Steiner Books. He is also the father of three grown sons.

Articles by Philip Incao, MD:

• Articles at AnthroMedLibrary
• What Should I Watch For?

We are requesting a $5-10 donation to the Eugene Chapter at the door.
Space is limited, so please contact us to reserve your seat.

Library Books

At the Eugene Public Library

A local member and I were discussing the book Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell-McBride, and the idea of a Eugene Chapter lending library. At present we do not have the resources to make this happen, but we do have a wonderful local resource, the Eugene Public Library. So I decided to compare the Thumbs Up Reviews on the Weston A. Price website, with the books available locally at the Eugene Public Library.

The most glaring omission in the library's collection is the classic book (written by the name-sake of our organization): Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price, DDS.

The library welcomes suggestions, and has made several book purchases after my requests, so please take a moment to suggest a purchase for one or more of these items. You do not need to have a library card. You may Suggest a Purchase online, or fill out a request in person at the library.

The library will also make inter-library loans on your behalf. For example I read Pottenger's Cats: A Study in Nutrition this way.

Not Available at the Eugene Public Library:

These books and videos are not currently available at the Eugene Public Library. Read reviews at Thumbs Up Reviews, and then Suggest a Purchase to the library.

Some of my favorites are: Nourishing Traditions (although I think everyone should own their own copy), back issues of Wise Traditions journals, Good Calories Bad Calories, The Cholesterol Myths, Eat Fat Lose Fat, Enzyme Nutrition, Real Food, The Untold Story of Milk, and Wild Fermentation.
