Lane County lost a true original this week with the passing of Chuck Kesey, co-founder of Springfield Creamery and the inventive spirit behind Nancy’s Yogurt. Alongside his wife, Sue, Chuck helped pioneer probiotic foods and built a family business that shaped how we think about healthy, community-rooted eating.

Known for his curiosity, kindness, and endless creativity, Chuck’s legacy lives on in every spoonful of Nancy’s and in the generations he inspired. Our hearts are with the Kesey and Thompson families, and all who carry on his work at Springfield Creamery. ❤️

We’ve moved! Eugene Magazine now calls the historic Market District home, perched above @
Sushi Pure in the Granary Building on 5th Street. Once home to the legendary jazz and blues club Feed Mill, the building still carries that creative energy and you can almost feel the music in the walls. From our windows, we hear the train and watch people head into 5th Street Public Market and the nearby shops. It’s an inspiring place to create and connect, surrounded by the energy of the businesses that make Eugene shine. We’re excited to be part of the neighborhood.
