Oregon Farm Corps

Last month Fellows and Apprentices gathered for our first of two weekend gatherings this season! We spent our time at the Headwaters Farm Incubator Program near Gresham. Participants were able to learn about soil health with Jen Aron and the wonderful programming available at Headwaters with Rowan Steele. Participants also saw some unique farm equipment demonstrations thanks to Rowan.

It was wonderful to have everyone gathered together for this two day event in a celebration of learning how to take care of this land we get to call home. We can’t wait for our second one this upcoming weekend in the Rogue Valley!!

During the 2021 farming season, Devin worked at Seed to Table, a four-acre organic nonprofit educational farm in Sisters, as an Oregon Farm Corps apprentice. This year, Devin joined the Oregon Farm Corps Board of Directors because she experienced firsthand how transformative the program can be.

“Farming remains inaccessible to many due to financial, educational, and social barriers. Oregon Farm Corps plays a vital role in lowering those barriers to support the next generation of farmers. By supporting the Future Farmers Campaign, you help ensure that Oregon Farm Corps can continue making its programs financially accessible and available to aspiring farmers across Oregon.”

Support our spring campaign today! Every dollar goes towards supporting our Future Farmers Fund, which gives full or partial scholarships to waive program fees and provides stipends for expenses like travel, and childcare. Donate via the link in our bio or at https://bit.ly/OFC-SFFC
