Holiday Open House: December 16, 2-5pm
You're invited to the 9th Annual Holiday Open House - the longest running event at TLC Farm!
This year we're spicing it up a little, with interactive games and a puppet show, as well as a TLC Farm tour, and yummy snacks (including homemade goat cheese from our very own goats), wine, hot cider, and sparkling conversation.
Please come, bring your friends and neighbors, and learn about what's been going on at TLC Farm.

Community Supported Bakery - register now!
We are excited to announce the birth of a new venture from the Cedar Moon residential community of TLC Farm. Resident chef, Carrie Turner, is offering an opportunity to participate in a BREAD and CHEESE CSB. Similar to the “Community Supported Agriculture” (CSA) model where you pay a farmer in advance for a season’s share of sustainable produce, as a shareholder in our Autumn Season Community Supported Bakery (“CSB”), you will receive fresh bread and cheese every week from October to December 2012.
Breads are prepared in the European tradition with natural leavens and baked in an earthen, wood-fired oven. They may vary slightly from week to week. The cheese is produced from raw goat milk provided us by four Nubian and Toggenburg/Nubian goats that live with us at TLC Farm.
What does my CSB share entail?
Every week from Oct. 4 through Nov. 29, you will receive a three pound loaf of organic, naturally-leavened bread fresh from our wood-fired earthen oven, and a 4 ounce portion of soft raw goat cheese.
The cost for the program is $100, and registration will be open until October 2nd. We will be accepting a cash or check payment on the first day of pick-up. Shares are limited.
Where will I pick up my bread?
Because we are selling a raw milk product, the state of Oregon requires customers to purchase directly from the farm of origin, so the pick-up site is at TLC Farm,located at 11640 SW Boones Ferry Rd. Shares are available for pick-up on Thursdays, between the hours of 2 and 7. While you are here, feel free to explore the land, as TLC is a public sustainability education center as well. Wander through our beds of annual and perennial food and medicine crops, and spend some time visiting the goats that make this CSA possible.
Please contact Carrie through email at tryonCSA@gmail.com to reserve your share today.
Although our CSB ends in November, there will be opportunities to place special orders during the month of December for all of your HOLIDAY needs.
We use local and organic ingredients at every possible turn and we strongly believe in sourcing all of our materials in a sustainable way.

Autumn Tour and Cider Pressing - Sept. 22
We've noticed that our biggest tour of the year always happens at our Winter Holiday Party, where not much is growing and the land is a little bare. So, this year, we decided to also host an Autumn Tour and Cider Pressing, when things on the land are a bit more lively! Come on over to the farm this Saturday at 11 am, with extra apples if you have them, and we'll tour and toast the harvest goodness together.
You're welcome to bring a picnic lunch and stay through the afternoon.
