Thanks to Cornucopia sponsors, 2007!

First off, big thanks go out to Alexa Wiley, Aliah Farah, the Josh Cole Band and Ponderosa for their musical contributions, and to Will Suejcar for donating an abundance of veggies for the delicious food served during the festival.

TLC Farm would also like to extend deep thanks to the following generous donors to the charity auction at Cornucopia 2007. These sustainability-oriented artists and businesses have a proven commitment to an ecologically healthy local economy!
May you all thrive.

Plaster party

Mon, 10/08/2007 - 5:09pm — jennyleis

I love Saturdays at TLC Farm! This past Saturnday, a bunch of us gathered in the outdoor kitchen to put earthen plaster on the cob bench under the nearby cedar tree. With the help of some Lewis and Clark students and other new Farm friends, we sifted clay, mixed it with sand, straw and water, and gently applied the muddy plaster to protect our nice bench.
