Summer in Portland, Oregon, is a season of vibrant abundance—a time when farmers' markets overflow with sun-warmed berries, backyard tomatoes ripen on the vine, and our communities gather to celebrate the flavors of the season. At Edible Portland, we’re continually inspired by the people who nourish this region, from smallscale farmers to chefs who champion local, sustainable ingredients. But beneath this summer beauty, we must confront difficult truths. Climate change, with its shifting rain patterns and intensifying heat, is stressing our soils, waterways, and crops. And the inhumane and unconstitutional enforcement of immigration laws has devastated the farmworker communities who form the backbone of our food system. To preserve the vitality of Oregon’s food culture and ecosystems, we must speak honestly, stand in solidarity, and commit to a more just and regenerative future. As grocery prices rise, one contributing factor is the removal of immigrants from farms, orchards, and vineyards. So, before we close, we want to address what is happening in agricultural lands across America–the immigration abomination. Perhaps you have read about the arrest of Moises Sotelo-Casas, who was snatched off the street. We encourage you to take any action you feel comfortable with to oppose this horrible practice. Our Best, Jon and Deborah Trusty Edible Portland
