Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market is under new leadership. Meet Jaimie Griffin, new Executive Director for the Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market.
"The Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market is a vital ingredient to our local food system and community, a centerpiece in this community by connecting the farmer to consumer and fresh ingredients into our diets. This market has a deep sense of community roots that helps support our local economy while providing residents with fresh, locally produced fruit, vegetables, meats, baked goods, and much more. It's also a place where neighbor meets neighbor and where farmers can serve as food educators, reinvigorating how consumers shop and eat. I look forward to being able to make a positive impact on this organization and the community." Jaimie Griffin, Executive Director
