Once Upon A Time…

grandma and grandpa planted trees, trees we tend today that give us apples, figs, pears, plums, and an abundance of fruit that flavors our work. They grew gardens that built the institutions and infrastructure where we now cultivate the continuity of community. Their livestock replenished the soils we farm today, cycling nutrients that have passed through the many generations who have called Clatskanie home. We honor those who came before us, as far back as can be accounted for, and we strive to acknowledge their struggles, learn from their mistakes and build upon their unique contributions that have culminated in who we are today.
Deep roots. Wide branches. Sun-kissed tips…old-growth informed.
