Some of the many videos that have been done recently are now posted on our web page. Look under Visit the Farm to access them.
Visiting the farm now are two videographers, Travis and Morgan of EcoJaunt. They specialize in doing videos of “how to” make life better on planet Earth. Take a look!
Have been harvesting 15-20 lbs of salad mix per week for several weeks now. Our CSA boxes have benefited from them and the Blue Schorcher Bakery and Cafe in Astoria has been using them too! Today is 4th of July, Enjoy Larkin

A poem I wrote right before Terralar my daughter was born had this line:
From our Mother we have received and to her we must give. Then, then, from this giving we shall have everlasting peace.
Send some loving light to our Earth today and every day! Blessings, Larkin

Well all the CSA boxes are put to bed for the night. 16 this week, putting them together is one of my favorite tasks, the color and variety is awesome. We are able to offer CSA all year because we buy from other regional farms to make up what we don’t grow. This week saw lots of root crops, apples and pears and chard and kale. Here is a pic.

CSA box for the week
Looking forward to the challenges of 2011, let me know what you are up to! Bye Larkin

A whole new look for Green Angel Gardens Farm Store! For years people have used the open garage door, now with the arrow, to come and go. This is great on good weather days but here in the Northwest we have weather! So now a real door allows rainy weather shoppers to come and go without being blown in. The sign is awesome and a big step forward for the Center. Hmmm now how to get folks to slow down and come in??????

Yup this is me, Larkin
What a great year it has been for volunteers here at Green Angel Gardens. Most recently two graduates from Chicago helped out with the added bonus of being musically inclined too so we jammed a bit too. MacKenzie and Austin were a great help and MacKenzie left some great cookies to tide me over. In future blogs I’ll feature some of the wonderful folks who have helped this year. Volunteering on local farms helps beyond measure, so if you get the chance or rather make it happen, volunteer on a local farm! Meanwhile enjoy some of the photos here.
