From start to finish, Crush &
Crate captured what Oregon

Wow! Congratulations on the event yesterday. We attended with neighbors from Dundee and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. The event reminded me of attend food shows around the country when I worked in domestic markewtring for ODA in the 80’s. It was exceptional to have this opportunity for consumers and not just the trade. You had a great balance of cheeses, charcuterie, confections, wine, beer and spirits. And, the personal tapas charcuterie bard was a great touch! Hope you bring this back next year!

The Chehalem Valley Food &
Wine Showcase is a standout
in the many events we attend.
The overall quality of this event
was stunning. Beyond the excellent
and elevated selections, the
vendors were informed and
represented their products in an
informative and engaging way.
I was able to taste many things that I’ve never had before!
I thoroughly enjoyed presenting our products at the cheese and cider pairing. It was an experience where attendees could directly interact with makers and understand some technical details on food sensory pairing while trying the combinations.

Thank you for including
Balsall Creek in such a
wonderful event. The
atmosphere was amazing!
We had time to walk around
and meet vendors of all types-
all unique in their products.
The collaboration was so much
fun - we had time early in the
day to create a special ‘pairing’
with the Italian cheese vendor
across from us and it was
wonderful to be able to send
people her way and her sending
people our way!
Thank you again for including us -
well done!

The vendors were friendly and passionate, taking time to talk about their craft, which added a personal touch to the entire experience. What really impressed me was the balance of quality ad variety. Whether you’re into gourmet bites, comforting staples, or adventurous new creations, there was something to excite every palate. Add to that the smooth organization, great music, and lively crowd, and the whole event felt like a celebration of food culture at its best. Crush & Crate is a must-attend for food lovers, curious tasters, and anyone who enjoys discovering fresh, inspired culinary talent. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Thank you again for such a fun
event! It’s always fun to introduce
Sartori Cheese to new people
and hear the excitement from

my FAVORITE cheese!’
Can’t wait for next year!

I loved the positive energy in the room. I was really enthused by the number of contacts I made - very valuable. I have already had three follow up with me ‘this morning’. The hours seemed just right. I loved it that it was buyers first and then open to the public - that worked very well for me.
