Here in Sisters Country we are blessed with bounty. Deschutes National Forest spills out from our doorsteps, blanketing snow-capped mountains with pines and stretching out to the volcanic wastelands in McKenzie Pass. We also find blessings where the land has been tamed: our farms, ranches, and farmers markets provide local, ethically produced nourishment and community alike.
Notable among all the bounty is Seed to Table, a nonprofit educational farm helmed by a strong leader and lifelong Sisters community member, Audrey Tehan. Her team, including education coordinator Aude Girin, has responded to Covid-19 and Oregon school closures with home-based learning.
Aude Girin teaches kids with fun and farm activities at Sisters Farmers Market.
Usually, the Seed to Table team would be in the schools and kids would be on the farm, going hands-on at this time of year. Instead, the organization sent home seed packets and soil with the kids’ school packets.
Adults and kids from anywhere can take advantage of the videos Seed to Table has made for this time. Dig in and enjoy the possibilities at SEED TO TABLE ONLINE FARM.
