Love Farm Organics CSA in Bonny Slope
Now that Dinihanian Farm Market and CSA are permanently closed, many local folks who love fresh, locally-grown, healthy produce may be looking for an alternative. You’re in luck! Linda Sawaya, a cookbook author, artist, and illustrator who lives on Laidlaw (near Thompson) in Bonny Slope, has offered her location as a pickup spot for a Love Farm Organics. Each week members will be able to pick their produce from a wide selection of seasonal fruit, veggies and more. Established in 2006, Love Farm is a family-owned and operated organic Community Supported Agriculture farm in the foothills of the Coast Range. Their CSA program allows Portland metro-area residents a connection with their food and farmer. In addition to the CSA, they also offer bulk berry ordering in the summer. They grow a wide assortment of vegetables, fruits, herbs and some flowers throughout the growing season of June through mid November. A CSA farm is an alternative food network in which members together purchase the farm’s harvest, splitting the cost and the volume of the harvest into “shares.” Amy Love says, “In turn for your purchased share with the farm, we commit to growing your food for the shareholder season. Our season runs June 1st through mid November, usually 23 weeks. We provide a “market-style” pick-up for members at eight different locations each week.” A sign board will inform you of the week’s produce. You can fill your own bag, box or basket with your choices, and someone will always be available to answer your questions. For pick-up locations and prices please see the “Join” page on their website. Sign up now, memberships are limited! You can also learn more about the farm by following them on Facebook.
Schoch Dairy Offers Local Milk!Find the freshest milk and eggs in the county, just a pleasant drive down West Union in Helvetia at Schoch Dairy. You’ll be amazed at the flavor! Our award-winning milk is whole, just as it comes from the cow. All the milk we sell comes from the cows on our farm, unlike larger creameries. We bottle it in reusable, half-gallon clear-glass bottles. Milk in glass bottles tastes better than milk stored in paper or plastic containers.
Our creamery is state-inspected and approved. Our milk is pasteurized, which kills harmful bacteria. However, it's not homogenized, so cream rises to the top of the bottle. You can mix the milk again by shaking the bottle before pouring. We do not sell raw, unpasteurized milk. We vat-pasteurize our milk. This is a slow, low temperature process that allows the full flavor and nutrition of the milk to come through. Then, we chill it quickly, to lock in freshness. We raise our own cows, feed them on our pastures, milk them, and process the milk, which goes from our farm to your fridge in one day. Now that's FRESH! Milk costs $4 per half-gallon bottle. There is an additional $2 deposit for each bottle. Return the empty bottles and get your deposit back or a credit for a new purchase. Cash or check only. From the intersection of West Union Road and Helvetia Road, go west on West Union. Turn right when you see the Schoch Dairy sign at 24335 NW West Union Rd. Enter the gravel driveway and drive past two houses (on the left and right). Park near the creamery building, and come in to purchase milk and eggs. For more information about the dairy and the family, visit their website, schochdairy.com, call 503-647-2638, or email info@schochdairy.com.

This “preview” art exhibit will be a way to inspire the community and discuss how Skyline Memorial could be used as an art gallery, an art studio or a place for learning about art and photography.
This event was inspired by local artist GunMarie Rosqvist, who visited Skyline Memorial and suggested to staff members that they should display works of art in the funeral home. This preview art event will support collaborative discussion with the art community, local businesses and neighbors, with focus in how Skyline Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home could be a partner in the arts. Selected works by local Swedish born artists, GunMarie Rosqvist and Maud Durland, will be exhibited. Rosqvist, who lives near Skyline Memorial Gardens, specializes in oil paintings in the Hindeloopen style of Dutch Folk Art, as well as landscapes and portraitures. Durland, of Lake Oswego, is an award-winning watercolorist who captures her motifs in a figurative and contemporary style. She is known for her calming renderings of landscapes and she also paints a variety of other subjects.

Students Learn About the “Real World”Even students who graduate with straight As may not be ready for the real world when it comes to living within their financial means. On April 21, Sunset Credit Union volunteers held a “Financial Reality Fair,” where they showed 90 students from Sunset High School what it’s like to make a household budget and how to make important financial decisions. During the Fair, students were assigned an entry-level career and salary, and then worked their way through a maze of spending temptations. The students completed a budget sheet requiring them to live within their monthly salary while paying for basics such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and food. Sunset Credit Union volunteers served as mock merchants and put the “hard sell” on the students, who needed to balance their budgets by the end of the hour. “It was an eye-opening and educational experience for the students,” said Rhonda Baggarley, President of Sunset Credit Union, who led the event. “From the comments we received from the students, many of them came away with a better understanding of how difficult it can be to juggle all the financial responsibilities they will face once they graduate from high school. We’re looking forward to doing this again to help more students learn what the ‘real world’ will be like for them once they graduate.” Sunset Credit Union serves anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Washington County.
