CENTRAL POINT, Ore. Cheddar cheese is being used to spread the love at a popular creamery in CP.
The Rogue Creamery has been in business nearly 90 years and is known globally for it’s award winning ‘Rogue River Blue’ cheese.
The creamery is focusing on helping the community following the Almeda Fire, in partnership with ACCESS and Rogue Food Unites. It’s been working with the non-profits since the pandemic began and it’s been donating around 1,000 pounds of cheese every other week.
It’s new campaign, Cheese is Love Cheddar, aims to keep up with this need.
“This is our way of using cheese as a force of good to make a contribution to those families in need,” said president of Rogue Creamery, David Gremmels.

The Almeda Fire destroyed 2,400 homes in September, mostly in the small cities of Talent and Phoenix. About 75 percent of them were manufactured homes, according to a report presented to the Medford City Council Thursday night.
That means a lot of low-income seniors and families are looking for affordable homes in and around Medford. But the city was already struggling with housing availability before the fire.
Councilors met Thursday for a study session to discuss potential solutions. Since it was a study session, the council didn’t take any action. The city is working with a consultant to analyze its current and future housing needs.

MEDFORD, Ore. When the Almeda Fire tore through Talent and Phoenix, it had an outsized impact on the mobile home communities along the I-5 corridor. Many of them were entirely leveled leaving families with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
One of those communities was Coleman Creek Estates. Just days after the fire, CPM Real Estate Services started a GoFundMe page for the displaced residents, putting in an initial contribution of $10,000. Since then, they say that the fund has grown to more than $25,000.
MEDFORD, Ore. – If everything goes as planned, hundreds of apartments will be available in downtown Medford.
The owners of Inn at the Commons are in the process of selling to a Portland company that plans to build an apartment complex right on Riverside using some of the existing infrastructures.
For over seven years, the inn was owned by the Neuman Hotel Group, which is owned by local couple Doug and Becky Neuman. The couple owns several area hotels, from Ashland Springs to Ashland Hills, but is moving on from their only downtown Medford property.
The Neumans said they were approached at a time just after the fires and it was “such a new idea that we didn’t really know what was going to happen.” But as they learned more about the opportunity, it made sense.
