Rogue Valley

So the hops, chamomile, lemon balm with a real sedative kinda hemp strain is an amazing blend for him to help him sleep.

So, you know, down here in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon, Oregon's always been a natural resource-dependent state with the timber industry and the fishing industry, and we've had a lot of struggles.

And so hemp is something that really can support the economic viability of our region and give jobs back to our communities.

So part of my mission as I expanded away from just the family and decided, decided to develop a product line for other people, was also to help create jobs in our community and be able to bring back that, a natural resource-dependent state into a more viable crop like hemp.

All right, we'll explore that.

The Rogue Valley just took the number one wine region in America in the same year that its AVA turns 35.

It's one of those polls that we talk about all the time.

You know what it is.

So, uh, anyway, let's go to a happier story and move on, uh, to an article.

Every year, every year, the USA Today comes out with their polls, and it's the best tasting rooms, the best this, the best wine regions, all voted on by their, by their readers.

It's that time of year again, and the Rogue Valley has been named the number one best wine region in the United States this year in their top 10 reader polls.

They're marking their 35th AVA.

Received a high school equivalency diploma, attended community college, and completed a p-program in medical record keeping and computer technology.

Moved to Rogue Valley in ninety-one with her husband, Brandon Carter.

Has worked periodically at community hospitals and numerous medical clinics in the valley.

Married seven years with one daughter, Caitlin.

And unlike a cheese you can walk into a store and just buy whenever you feel like it, this is a seasonal release.

It's made from cow's milk in Oregon's Rogue Valley, aged for roughly 9 to 12 months, and wrapped in Syrah grape leaves that have then been soaked in pear spirits.

The new vintage is released around the autumnal equinox, or in layman's terms, the first day of fall.

So this isn't just cheese.

Hope everything they stay, that stays in stocks long enough for me to buy it.

Um, I guess there's a big outbreak of aphids in the Rogue Valley this year, so if you're near me, nearby, if you know you're nearby where I grow out here in the Rogue Valley, maybe scout for pests because it's gonna be kind of an iffy year.

But yeah, that's what I've been doing in the garden.

We're zooming along to the end.

Yeah, nice to be here.

So I've been celebrating September's bounty in the Rogue Valley with both rain and good stuff coming out of the gardens.

And I'm just reminded once again that, you know, no matter how hard we try or how lazy we get, the fact is that every year is different in spite of our efforts.

Right.

Yeah, there you can see Linnea Moan.

She's in Rogue Valley and she toured with my solo band for a long time.

And Luke Anderson crouching down like he's the catcher of the band.

Baseball kicker.

Oh, thank God it lets me zoom in.

Uh, Cecil Turner is head of the Chrysalis Institute, a psychiatric treatment center in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon.

This interview was conducted in his office.

Modern psychology.

I fucked up the inflection on that, but you got it.

Simply put, the TAT is a brilliant way of finding out what people are thinking on an unconscious level, how they view the world, how they see themselves in this world, and that is how we gain insight in treating the many ills which plague the human mind.

So what is the Virtual TAT? The Virtual TAT, or VTAT, computer people love acronyms, is something that I am developing with a CD-ROM game company here in the Rogue Valley.

It's a way people can experience a version of thematic apperception tests in their own homes.

Or what those folks are doing out there in Harney County is powerful.

Why don't we, uh, adopt some of the collaborative approaches that High Desert Partnership and other organizations have been pioneering down there? Or what that group is doing, uh, out in the Rogue Valley is really powerful.

Maybe we need to think, uh, more broadly about the ways that educational institutions can become regional drivers of economic opportunity.

Uh, I think there is a real opportunity for us to start the conversation, uh, in a context that feels localized, but that also allows us to draw from other work going on across the state.

And I mean together in the broadest of senses, right? We want, uh, folks in Harney County showing up for folks here in Albina.

We want folks in Albina showing up for folks in Oak Ridge.

We want, uh, folks in Oak Ridge showing up for people in the Rogue Valley.

So there's going to be a broad coalition-based approach to, uh, this work that is not only necessary, but I think is gonna be really transformative for the future of our state because it'll span geographic divides, right, urban, rural, suburban, and it'll also span political battle lines.

This is also my second year as a real estate agent.

I am a Rogue Valley business owner for the past 13 years.

So I'm using kind of my network as an already existing entrepreneur to transfer that over to real estate sales.

I sold 10 units last year and I'm looking to double it this year.

Also, team referrals have been really good.

So it's definitely like Jenna, just a combination of both.

But I think just being in the Rogue Valley for so long and having a good network of already existing people has helped.
