Are you planning your garden and finding that you have too much of some types of seeds, and not enough of others? Come celebrate spring at TLC Farm and trade some seeds or starts! Bring seeds that you've saved from your garden or seeds that you bought in the past few years but never used. Also, if you have too many canned goods from last season (we have way too many pickles!) bring those to share as well. Please label your seeds well, with variety and date.
Our land partner Cedar Moon will have hard apple cider available for tasting and purchase, as well as boxes of mason bees for sale (really excellent pollinators). It's also quite possible we'll have brand-new baby goats by then!
You can bike or drive (directions here) - do come down the driveway and park in our new parking lots. And please carpool!

Let's celebrate fall together! In coordination with our land partner Cedar Moon's newly launched Community Supported Orchard, we're inviting you to come park in the new parking lot (wow! so many parking spaces), share apple cider and explore the orchard with us on Sunday, October 24, from 1-3 pm.
We will be pressing fresh apple cider from our late season apples, and Cedar Moon will be sampling out six varieties of hard cider included in their hard cider share. There will also be an orchard tour and fresh apples to eat!
We're excited to be slowly re-opening the land to public events, and thrilled to have good on-site parking for you all! All activities will be outside and we ask that all visitors are vaccinated for Covid-19 or wear masks. Detailed car & bike directions here.
The event is free and open to all! We ask that you arrive between 1 and 1:30 and leave between 2:30 and 3, to minimize congestion in the driveway (which only is wide enouh for one car at a time). Contact brenna@tryonfarm.org or call 503-245-3847 with questions.
