What a way to close out our summer series of Rooted in the Valley!
A huge thank you to Chef John Thomas and the team at Thistle Restaurant for another incredible dinner, and an equally big thank you to the farmers and producers who grew, raised, and made the ingredients that brought Spice to life.
And we sincerely appreciate those who joined us to support local farms & producers. These dinners have always been about more than great food and cider. They’re about bringing people together, supporting the farmers, producers, and chefs who make the Willamette Valley such an incredible place to eat and drink, and sharing a meal that tells the story of where we live.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this dinner, and the entire Rooted in the Valley series, so special. 🍎
