Virtue of the month: Mercy

Justice is giving people what they deserve... Mercy is giving people more that they deserve. Mercy is a quality of the heart. When you are being merciful, you are willing to forgive when you have been hurt…When you practice mercy you are giving others the gift of your tenderness.

How to Practice Mercy:

I know what people deserve and choose to give them more than they have earned.

I give people another chance when they make a mistake.

I overlook hurtful things people do.

I put myself in other people’s shoes.

I help others who are troubled.

Affirmation: Mercy makes my life a blessing.

Cafe customers

New café opens at Cornell Farm Nursery

Open daily 7 am-3 pm, 8212 SW Barnes Road

Cornell Farm is a fourth-generation family farm located in Portland’s West Hills, just up Barnes Road. At this point in their history, they’re a retail nursery—growing and selling plants of every kind for your garden and home, but the Blatter family has been in this same spot since 1926, where they started out as a goat dairy.

“Our customers have been begging us to do food and drinks in the Farmhouse,” says Deby Barnhart, Cornell Farm co-founder. “The farmhouse is an iconic part of our identity, so it was important for us to preserve its charming architecture, built-ins, and fixtures, inside and out.” Cafe seating is available both indoors and on the patio behind the house, surrounded by the new quarter-acre display garden.

Cafe espresso

Cafe manager and executive chef Sara Strong, graduate of the New England Culinary Institute, can’t wait to begin serving the dishes she’s been imagining over the last six months of preparation. She helped design the kitchen, which, she says, “allows us to create Northwest-inspired, mainly farm-to-

table, seasonal breakfast and lunch menu items, as well as pastries, and baked goods made from scratch every day.” Take-out will be available, so a breakfast stop can include purchasing lunch to go. The menu includes gluten-free goodies. Many dishes incorporate fresh herbs from their gardens.

In addition to food, the café has a full espresso bar, including coffee sourced from two of the region’s finest roasters—Caffe Umbria of Seattle, and Sleepy Monk of Cannon Beach. Specialty teas and cold beverages are also offered.

Plenty of free parking is available around the café and nursery. Enter via a right turn from Barnes eastbound, or by turning left off Barnes onto SW 82nd across from Leahy Rd.
