Thank you to the WWOOFers of 2011

December 13th, 2011

Dear WWOOFers,

Thank you. To all your young, adventurous, vibrant, curious, open, and generous hearts I extend my gratitude. This farming season was made possible with your collective hard work and energy, laughter and questions, muddy boots and wet jackets. What a grand experiment in spur of the moment community, family and friendship. We opened our farm and lives up to all 50 of you this summer with no idea of what to expect. What we got made us hopeful for the future.

So many young people looking for a better way to live and with a willingness to forge new paths to get there. All we can say is “Go for it!” The time is now. Find some friends you trust and some land you love and create your own Revolution. It is hard work but the rewards are endless. If a crazy kayak builder and a upstart farmer can inspire you than anything is possible! Here is my photo love note to the WWOOFers of 2011. If you don’t see yourself in here, it’s because somehow you avoided my camera. I would love to add you in if you have a photo of yourself and your stay with us.

P.S.To all our WWOOFer farm-ily- please send me your R-evolutionary pics!

R-evolutionary video-

July 18th, 2011

Check out this new interview video with farmer Ginger! Many thanks to Byron Banghart for stopping by the farm and shooting some video on a rainy weekend. Byron is the creator of 2B4 the world sustainable video series and is traveling the country in a solar powered trailer to capture the emerging local food and renewable energy movement. It was great to get to know him and we now have our first farm video to share!

Spring farmer Zen and the sound of rain.

May 7th, 2011

Although the summer sunlight gild
Cloudy leafage of the sky,
Or wintry moonlight sink the field
In storm-scattered intricacy,
I cannot look thereon
Responsibility so weighs me down.
– William Butler Yeats

These little spring babies have been making my heart light and happy everyday. Although I am much less productive in my office with kitten climbing up my legs as I work on my computer- these faces can only make you smile.

Everywhere I go these days folks in town stop and ask me the question that’s on everyone’s minds- “How is your farm doing in all this rain?” Smiling or grimacing, (depending on the day) I say the obvious- “It’s wet.” The villagers nod in agreement and a silent understanding passes between us rain forest dwellers, the reality that we too are daily watered down with the rest of the ferns, trillium, mushrooms and coastal streams and rivers. A bummer if you are looking to till your soil and plant some early cabbages for the upcoming farmers markets. A blessing if you are standing in your field in the morning mist awash in the spring symphony of sounds as the rain filters through the soft green, deep green, spring green mossy forest, filling our creek, that rushes noisily to meet the free flowing north fork of the Nehalem, which holds the brilliant silver spring chinook swimming back from the ocean following the unique taste and scent of their rainforest home. I am a part of this ecosystem and the true wealth of this coast lies in the abundant clean flows of water that run here. That said, I would be very happy if it could please stop raining long enough for me to plant those cabbages because ready or not, our CSA is waiting to be dazzled with farm veggies this month.

WWOOF! WWOOF! Quack! Quack! Buzz! Buzz!

March 29th, 2011

Jena WWOOFs the R-evolution!

The sounds of the farm this month are the melody created by the awakening earth, baby hatchlings and a new wave of volunteer energy that is heading our way this year!

WWOOF! WWOOF! The WWOOFers are here for the season! WWOOFing is short for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

WWOOFers and volunteers rocking it out!

Through this ingenious nonprofit organization, small organic farms are matched with eager traveler/volunteers looking to get their hands in the dirt and learn about growing food. We hosted our first spring WWOOFers this month- Leigh-Ann from New Jersey and Jena from Chehalis, Washington. They are young, vibrant energy for our wet spring fields and have been lending a hand in getting our hundreds of starts transplanted, fences mended, paths repaired, beds prepped and chickens cared for.

Adventures of late winter/early spring!

February 20th, 2011

In the last few weeks I have been lucky enough to travel to California, New Mexico and then came back home to the coast in time for some beautiful sunny and snowy days mixed together! Here are some of my recent adventures in photo form. Thanks for everyone signing up for our CSA and getting us the funds we need to get started this season. It is a wonderful feeling of community and support to have those checks arrive before the seeds are even in the ground. We couldn’t farm without you

The winter settles in

November 28th, 2010

Blogging is a winter activity. In what other time of year do I have the luxury of reflecting on my day in writing? I hope that by adding thoughts regularly to my blog on the off season, it will become a habit that I can keep to when the spring and summer become busy on the farm. It is a good thing to journal as a history of the ever changing farm. I usually write with pen and paper during my morning chai tea. An evening blog will be helpful too, but it is harder to write knowing others will read it, makes me a wee bit self conscious. I will just start by saying this day was sunny and beautiful. The November day that dawns clear always brings joy to my heart on this rainy coastline. I am trying to be on vacation from the farm this month, which is difficult because I’m still here. I am physically here but mentally trying to not engage in my usual planning and chore lists- I just write them out and slowly peck away them when I feel like it.

Today was sunny so I naturally felt I should chop wood, clean the chicken coop, pick and process some beets and carrots, and in general be outside making myself useful…

Farming on the Oregon coast, season 2!

November 15th, 2010

The beautiful brassica year of 2010!

My friends in the big city of Portland think of my tiny off grid farm world as some sort of reality TV show. They ask me how season 2 is shaping up with the new intern-and laugh when I tell them the episode where my female ducks all turn out to be males and my escaped chicken finally reappears out of the woods with 11 newly hatched chicks. While the farm life does make for good storytelling, for me the farm always feels more like a working r-evolution in progress. Each season I am tested by new challenges, gifted with new friendships and amazed by what a small, wet, newly worked rain forest garden can produce.

R-evolution Gardens at the Oregon Country Fair!

July 3rd, 2010

We are very excited to be a part of the most amazing, creative, sustainable party that happens in Oregon every year!

The Oregon Country Fair is in it’s 41st year this summer and will have over 40,000 visitors during the July 9-11th weekend. The OCF is an incredible demonstration of what makes Oregon such a fabulous place to live. An entire village springs up in a beautiful lush forest each summer that is powered off the grid, recycles everything, and is volunteer run. But most importantly the OCF blows peoples minds with a nonstop display of live music, poetry, art, dance, acrobatics, comedy, fire spinning, stiltwalking, organic foods, yoga, spontaneous naked mud parades, a handcrafted marketplace and informational booths on everything from acupucture to zero waste.
