'Our' Land
"Land is something sacred to all of us, whether we consciously appreciate it or not — it is the space upon which we play, live, eat, find love, and experience life. The land is ever-changing and ever-shifting, giving us — and other creatures and beings on the earth — an infinite number of gifts and lessons." - Native Land Digital

A Brief History of 'Our' Land
In spring of 2019 we closed on the purchase of this property, a small farmhouse with an unassuming flat field of weeds, field grass and blackberries that we get the privilege of stewarding.
It isn't lost on us that the exploitation of this very land is the reason that we get the privilege of stewarding it today. We are indebted to the indigenous peoples who so gently lived on and from this land. We recognize The Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde and Siletz Indians and Tribes of the Kalapuya, Clackamas, Multnomah and all native peoples displaced from their sacred home.
