RESOURCE LISTS BY SECTOR

***Please note: This list is by no means comprehensiveit was compiled based on the notes taken during the Nourish Yamhill Valley Community Conversations series held in the fall of 2012. No fact checking has been done to ensure that the entities listed exist, or to confirm contact information for them. Hopefully that will be done at some point in the future as a first step to creating a local food resource guide! Any takers?
