Nahko, for TLC Farm

Singing together is sacred activism. When we harmonize our voices and energy, we expand our connection to spirit, each other and the land.
Singing together around the fire and in ceremony at Tryon Life Community Farm connected me to people who have shaped my life and grown my family. I know I'm not the only one whose life has been activated by experiences at Tryon - maybe you're one too. Remember sharing round the fire, sacred songs in the air? Remember singing in the sauna, faces glowing candle lit, rhythms made by hands and heart? Remember opening to the full moon? I remember these. These are reasons that Tryon is in my heart, one of my homes. These are reasons that I invite you to give back the gifts we are given.

What can you give the Farm? Can you make a donation to help the magic keep flowing? Can you spread the word to your friends and family? Places like Tryon are gifts to the world - let's give back.

in community,
Nahko Bear

p.s. I've been hearing about TLC's new yurt -- a beautiful year-round place for gatherings of all kinds. It has radiant heating, a star-patterned floor made from recycled doors and our favorite ol' butterfly stage as the front porch. TLC is friend-raising $5,000 this month to finish funding this awesome space. Can you help?

Thank you to Shadia Fayne Wood for the beautiful photographs!

What's happening at TLC Farm: Highlights from 2013

2013 was a busy year here at Tryon Life Community Farm,

and we want to share some of our highlights with you.

During 2013, the good folk at TLC Farm:
1. Re-wrote our mission statement: TLC Farm brings people together to root into relationships with each other and the land, by sharing tools for community-based sustainability and social change, and tending resilient ecosystems.
2. Purchased a 30-foot yurt, and have spent most of the year making it lovely and warm. See the yurt photo collage to get a feel of all the love and labor that's gone into this project.
3. Hosted over 500 students, from pre-school through college, on tours of TLC Farm. Schools and programs served include: Headstart Pre-school, Cedarwood Waldorf School, Oregon Episciopal School, Boys & Girls Aid Society, Portland State University, Lewis & Clark College, Evergreen State College, and many more.
4. Hosted retreats for several organizations, including Right 2 Dream 2, the Kasama Project and more.
5. Removed massive amounts of blackberries from the conservation easement and re-planted with native plants, in partnership with the Tryon Creek Watershed Council.
6. Hosted the Mother Earth School all-outdoor pre-school, kindergarten and summer camp. Over 60 children participate in the unique and transformative Mother Earth School programs at TLC Farm.
7. Tended the charismatic dairy goat herd, and sold hundreds of gallons of raw milk to local families.
8. Tended the garden and abundant orchards (it was a truly magnificent fruit year). Pressed a lot of apple cider to share with volunteers.
