A Landrace of people
A bulletin from our founder, Justin. We’re working to purchase it in partnership with the City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural. When the purchase closes, the land will become public land held by the City, while Working Theory Farm continues farming it. After hundreds wrote and testified, Metro Council awarded $3 million toward the purchase.
Endings, Beginnings, and Returns
Many voices from the farm brings you their observations from this month.
Endings
Youth can work for a maximum of two years and one summer season. While this allows us to serve more young people each year, it also means saying bittersweet goodbyes at the end of every cycle.
Last Saturday, we celebrated one of those goodbyes.
Our UFO enthusiast and Star Wars connoisseur, Dakota, is wrapping up his time as an employee.
Beginnings
Souls, much like crops, are always in rotation. This spring, a wonderful new soul joined the farm and quickly got her hands full of dirt.
