Of all Oregon traditions, the mantle of ‘cutest’ undoubtedly falls to Oregon State University’s annual lambing event. This year, the university’s Sheep Center is again opening its barn doors to the public, giving visitors an exciting peek at a lesser-known side of our food system.

So trot yourself down to Corvallis between now and March 14th for this not-to-be-missed experience (more details available at the OSU website). There’s no charge, but donations of canned items are happily accepted on behalf of the Linn Benton food bank. So be a lamb, won’t you?
