TLC Farms hosts potlucks the last Saturday of each month, 6:00-8:00 p.m., January through October. Join us in our rustic outdoor kitchen for good food and good company. Kid friendly. LGBTQ+ friendly. Gluten-free dishes will be available. There is a short walk down a non-ADA accessible path to reach the kitchen. (We hope to improve our accessibility.) In cold weather, we’ll have a fire pit or eat in the farm’s heated yurt. No RSVP needed.
11640 SW Boones Ferry Rd., Portland, 97219. Our driveway is at the south end of the Tryon Creek State Natural Area on Boones Ferry Rd., roughly across from Coronado St. You’ll find parking spots along the driveway to your left. The outdoor kitchen is just downhill from the parking area. If you reach the houses, you’ve gone too far and can turn around at the end of the drive.
Also at the Farm….
TLC Farm – Monthly Land Tending
First one – Saturday, January 31, 10 a.m. to noon at TLC Farm, 11640 SW Boones Ferry Rd., Portland 97219.
We will tour the land and talk about land-tending priorities for the year, then work on prepping our new garden patch. If you’d like, stay for lunch and our monthly Land-Tending Group meeting from noon to 1 p.m. Light snacks will be provided.
The farm’s driveway is at the south end of the Tryon Creek State Natural Area parking lot on Boones Ferry roughly opposite Coronado St. We’ll meet in the Outdoor Kitchen, just downhill from the parking area off the farm’s driveway.
73 yr old’s, husband and I live on long time family farm (my family) in Lewis county, WA. Organic garden and orchard permaculture on mostly timber farm altho we used to have lots of animals. In February last year we planted 240 coastal redwoods as one of their test plots for feasibly growing CRW here. Propagation Nation gave out 20,000 trees. This year they are giving out giant sequoias but they don’t have the lumber quality that CRW has. Temperatures in the teens in our cold valley. We have attended numerous PNW convergences but thought it might be nice to visit one of your Saturday Potlucks. We would probably come to ones when there is more light. This may be partly a dream since we’re older, it’s a long way and we are endlessly busy on our 125 acre farm. Could you please send email information + directions from the north we don’t like to go thro Portland if possible. Thanks so much, Lorna Smith and Carl Nelson
