Join HDFFA & Oregon Pasture Network for a screening of selected material from the Roots So Deep documentary series – where farmers, ranchers, and scientists team up to explore whether changing the way we graze cattle could help heal the land; and maybe even combat climate change. Follow their journeys across fences, fields, and generations to see if this bold approach can turn ranching into a surprising climate solution. 

Special Guest Speaker: Jeanne Carver, rancher and founder of Imperial Stock Ranch and Shaniko Wool Company. Her decades-long commitment to sustainable grazing has inspired and transformed both American ranching and the global wool industry. Most recently, Jeanne has received recognition for supplying sustainably sourced Merino wool for Ralph Lauren's official Team USA uniforms for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

Dinner will be catered by Spork. 

If you are interested in farming, ranching, and exploring potential solutions to climate change, this is an event you do not want to miss!
