Autumn is upon us. We have really noticed it out here lately with the shorter days. The summer squash and cucumbers are on the way out but our greens are still loving this weather. This week we will get the rest of our winter squash and pumpkins in for our CSA members.
We are now in our 4th week of the 2011-2012 school year. There has been a ton of excitement around the farm the last few weeks. We have a lot of enthusiastic and energetic new students working on the farm. We are excited to welcome them and can't wait to see how they will add to the program. It already seems that they are bringing some new skills, possibilities, and their eager curiosity to the farm and we are anticipating a good end to this season and great beginning to the next. We are also very honored to welcome back some of our graduates in paid mentor positions. Their leadership is not only helpful, but it is allowing the program to grow in even more amazing ways.
This past Tuesday we welcomed over 550 students from Bonny Slope Elementary school to the farm for the day.. We spent the day with all of the students taking them on a tour of the farm and then leading them through a farm scavenger hunt. Their visits concluded with a taste test of tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots followed by a vegetable identification and trivia. This was by far our biggest group of visitors yet and it seemed like they had as much fun as we did.
On Thursday a photographer with FOX 12 news was out for a couple hours interviewing some of the farm crew members and videotaping some of the work that was happening that day. We hear that they will be showing the feature on the farm Monday October 10th. We will provide a link to the page once it airs. 
One thing we are most excited and proud of this season is the amount of food we have been providing the Beaverton School District. We have been making weekly deliveries of lemon cucumbers, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes to schools district wide. This has been a goal of ours from the beginning and we are so excited that this has finally come to fruition.
Although it has been a relatively cool summer our crops are still bursting out of the ground! Some of the warm season crops have been slow to ripen but we were able to get our peppers, most tomatoes and our eggplant growing in mini greenhouses so they should be fruiting in the next couple of weeks. One thing is for sure- our summer work crew has appreciated the cooler weather. This is a far cry from the heat we experienced in our first summer of 2009.
We began picking our first tomatoes last week and they sure are delicious. Otherwise everything is really in full swing now. Our garlic is cleaned and the winter squash is right on track for a bountiful fall harvest.
In addition to tending our plants we have had very eventful summer. A couple weeks ago the new Beaverton School District Superintendent Jeff Rose paid us a visit. We were thrilled to be able to show Jeff around and introduce him to our summer workers.
We have made huge progress on our 20' X 100' greenhouse. The majority of the frame is up and now we just have to frame out the end walls and put the plastic on top and we will be good to go. This has been a huge learning process and all of our crew is very proud of the work they have done on this.
Last week the Oregonian featured a small article on the farm. We had a nice visit with reporter Wendy Owen. Please see the link to this article on the right.
Our latest exciting news is that we have begun providing produce to the Beaverton School District. As many of you know we scaled back our CSA this year so we could increase our production for students district wide. We have been providing zucchini, lemon cucumbers, slicing cucumbers and lettuce so far with the promise of much much more once school starts!!
Enjoy the end of summer everyone!!
How the time flies. Already over halfway through July!! Despite a cool summer our crops have really blossomed in the last month. Although we would love some sun and heat we can't help but feel lucky as we read reports of record heat throughout the country. Yesterday we had a record rainfall of over a half inch. Rain in July in Oregon is very unusual, especially that amount. But our plants love it. No matter how much we irrigate the plants always experience larger growth spurts after a rain from the sky.
Our tomato plants are loaded with fruit and will ripen as soon as the sun returns. Our onions are sizing up nicely and we are promised another abundant onion year. The greens (kale, chard, collards, mustard greens and lettuce) have been loving this cool weather.
Last week we dug our 1500 garlic plants. This was our most pleasant garlic harvest to date as it is usually well into the 90's when we harvest it. It is now curing in the gym and will be ready for trimming and cleaning in a couple weeks. This curing process allows it to keep well into the winter.
We are happy to report an amazing crew of enthusiastic and able summer workers. Many are returning for a second or even third summer. Their expertise and leadership has been incredible! We also have welcomed a handful of students who are helping out for the first time this summer. Again their enthusiasm has been contagious and their eagerness to learn has inspired us all.
We look forward to the warmth of summer to arrive and shoot our plants full of growth. We are also looking forward to our first pot luck of the season on Thursday August 18th. We hope you and your s can join us for an evening of delicious food and company. We will be firing up our pizza oven and baking some of Washington Counties finest pizza!
Enjoy the summer!!
Only a few days away until the official beginning of summer. We are beginning to feel a bit like the season is upon us now. After a very delayed start to our season due to rain we are finally getting caught up. The last week has been a flurry of planting activity. We have been able to get the majority of our fields planted and hope to have everything filled up by the end of next week. The plants from the greenhouse let out a collective sigh as they found a new home in the ground where they can really spread their roots out and grow.
Aside from the flurry of activity on the farm it has been busy at the school as well .Students have wrapped up exhibitions for the year and the seniors are on their way after a memorable graduation ceremony. We are proud of the seniors and wish them well in their future endeavors. Many seniors (and graduates from last year!) will be back this summer to lend their expertise on the farm as well as to mentor some of our younger students. We start summer programming next week and couldn't be more excited about getting things going. In addition to many new crops this year we will also be plugging away at building a rather large greenhouse. This will be a massive project for us and a great learning experience for our crew.
Our CSA begins today and we will have a good showing of greens and herbs for our members. The pickups will be heavy on greens for the first few weeks before the boxes fill in as our long season crops catch up. If you're able to stop by, please do, as our fields are looking good. The garlic is especially huge this year. This is the 2nd year that we have grown off of our own seed stock and each year the crop increases in size.
Hope to see you soon. Until next time.............
Here we are already into May. This spring is unfortunately reminiscent of last spring (which we thought couldn't happen 2 years in a row!). Needless to say the rain has us behind once again. Although we did have a window last week where we were able to get about 2000 leeks and 2000 onions planted out. We have loads of other plants in the greenhouse ready to go out as soon as the ground is ready for them. Ian reminded us yesterday that although our situation here isn't the best we could have it so much worse like the folks down in the Southeast right now who are dealing with terrible floods. Ian really put things into perspective for us.
In other news on the farm Levi is making huge progress in building our first portable chicken coop. He designed a great coop and has been working hard with Cameron to get it built. 
The MOU for our partnership with Portland Community College Rock Creek was signed last week too. This was a huge moment for all of us involved. As soon as it dries out we will be planting all of our pumpkins, winter squash and melons over there. We couldn't be more excited to begin working with our neighbors at PCC.
Also since our last update we went over to Madras to present at the Small Farmers Journal's annual auction/conference. The whole group represented Terra Nova well and Kea and Levi did amazing jobs presenting to a very interested audience. You will see form the pictures that this conference gave us an opportunity to see a very different kind of lifestyle then we are used to. Everyone there was very helpful and supportive and a great time was had by all. 
Finally with the school year wrapping up soon we are beginning to think about summer programming. Through some generous grants and fundraising we again will be able to offer students paid positions over the summer. Applications are back in and we begin interviewing on Friday. We're looking forward to another great summer of student programming.
Hopefully our next update we will be able to report that everything dried up and we were able to get caught up in our planting. Time will tell. Until then thanks again for all of your support.

April is upon us and hopefully it will bring warmer and dryer weather than March. With last month being one of the coolest and wettest on record we are in need of some sunshine. It will come- it's just a matter of when! We've been keeping busy with seeding like crazy lately. When the soil does dry out we will have 1000's of plants that will be happy to find a new home in the ground. We have also been busy with other projects. Mike has been working hard to build a table that will go out by the pizza oven this summer. We're having visions of calzones with peppers and arugula… soon enough.
Our red worms just arrived so Cameron will officially get our vermiculture (worm composting) system up and running so we can take our food scraps and turn them into healthy fertilizer for our soil.
In early March we took a field trip up to Seattle for 2 days. A great time was had by all. We helped Stephen from the Seattle Big Picture School in planning a bit more for his garden up there. 
What a great chance to get tot network with other students in the Big Picture network. All of the students and staff were very welcoming to us. We also had a chance to check out the market at Pike Place. Flying fish, beautiful produce and of course lots of yummy samples.
Also last month we were invited to go to Salem to testify before the Oregon House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee in support of HB 2800 (Farm To School and School Gardens). Most of the group made the trip down and Kea and Levi actually gave testimony. They did an amazing job. (Click here for a newspaper account of the day). or (Click here for a video summary of the day) It was also a great chance for all of us to meet some Representative's and Senator's. Really a great opportunity to see government at work.
In 2 weeks we head over to Madras to present at the Small Farmers Journal annual auction and conference. This promises to be a great weekend and we are all excited to go and learn more and also share what we do with others.

It's finally March and spring is around the corner. Although you wouldn't kno wit from the fact that it is still snowing. Hopefully all of the precipitation is working it's way out now and we will have some dry next month so we can plant at a somewhat normal time this year. No more rain until July like last year!
We've begun the seeding of some of our longer season crops and those that take a while to germinate. Leeks, onions, herbs and some flowers have all been planted. The next 2 months are a flurry of seeding madness. The majority of the crops we transplant will be seeded between now and the end of April.
In addition to all of the planting we are getting things ready for the spring in other ways. There is still a lot of project work happening (see January post). We also will be taking a field trip this week up to Seattle to the Big Picture School up there. We will be meeting many of their students and helping them with ideas for their garden. Then we will explore Pike Place Market as well as some other Seattle landmarks that will be first- time visits for many.
Also in case some of you are not familiar with a magazine called the Small Farmers Journal make sure you check it out (www.smallfarmersjournal.com). This is an incredible publication that has been around over 30 years. They focus on horse powered farming and also feature small farming techniques from around the world. Not to mention world class poetry and stories. It's always a fun read. 
They will be running an extended article in their Winter quarterly featuring the TNCF program including interviews with Mike and Jenny. It should be out soon so be sure to pick up a copy. In other related news we will be presenting on our program at their annual auction over in central Oregon April 15th. Come out and enjoy the event. It lasts 4 days and is always a blast and this year you can show us your support as well.
Happy New Year everyone!! We hope 2011 has started off well for you. After 2 weeks of much needed quiet time we are back to work preparing for the spring. We went out to Naomi's Organic Farm supply this week to pick up our seeding mix as well as a big load of rock phosphate (to raise our soil's phosphorus level) and lime. We got the results of our soil test back recently. We are proud to say that we have seen an improvement in our soils ph as well as a raise in our nitrogen levels. We continue to strive towards naturally improving the health of our soil and are proud to see some results 2 years in.
We will soon begin working on our planting schedule for the 2011 season since spring is really right around the corner. We have a bunch of exciting changes in store for 2011. Students are furiously working on independent projects right now including Levi's plans for our first chicken tractor, David's project on hot peppers and capsaicin, Cameron's research into our first Solar Cells for lighting our tool shed, Jessica's research into breeding plants as we try to develop veggies to grow in our unique micro-climate and Ian's amazing (and whimsical) art project of a farm comic book that we can give to the younger students we will be mentoring this year. Busy!
In other exciting news our earth pizza oven is finished and the roof is just completed so within weeks we should have it dried out and be cranking out homemade pizzas on-site.

That's it for now. Enjoy the rest of January!!
Now December is upon us. Some might think that this time of year means that all is quiet on the farm front but we have found it to be quite the opposite this year. As we begin planning for our third season we have found there is more preparation than ever to get ready. We are mostly focused on student projects right now. Levi, Mike, Cameron and Jenny have been hard at work editing a short 5 minute video for our school district that will talk about our beliefs and focus on our work with local elementary schools. Cameron has also just built our first worm box. That's right. We're now entering the wild world of vermilculture (worm composting)!! Cameron will manage this system for us and teach us all how to help turn our food scraps into healthy food for our soil. Last week we took our annual soil sample and will await the results to see what organic inputs we need to add to our soil this year.
Jessica recently wrote an article that was published in the Big Picture Learning newsletter. Please follow this link to the article ***. 
In other news we finished building our earth oven and have been building small fires to try to help dry it out. It's not the best time of year for trying to dry anything out here in Western Oregon but come summer we will be happy to bake pizzas in the oven for our CSA gatherings as well as for farm crew enjoyment! Today we begin construction on a roof for the oven.
We'll be working hard the next 2 weeks before winter break to finish the roof and then begin our crop planning for next season. Before we know it spring will be here (although it's hard to imagine now).

Last week we wrapped up our 2010 CSA season. The weather really presented us with some challenges this year. It was a cool and very wet spring that set us back almost a month. The summer never got all that hot either so the plants took their time growing. Definitely a different season than 2009 but that is just how it goes. Mother nature presents us with challenges and we do our best to roll with the punches and adopt. In the end we ended up with good yields. We are SO thankful to all of our CSA members and community supporters who encouraged us through the season. There was an immense amount of learning that took place this year and tons of personal growth from our student farmers. They have really embraced the program and are now dreaming up projects to improve the farm in ways that were previously unimaginable. 
Now we start to get the beds cleaned up and put the garden to sleep for the winter. We will be tilling everything in later this month and planting our winter cover crop. This week we will also plant over 1000 garlic from seed that we saved from our own harvest. This winter will be a time of classroom education and planning for next season. We will be growing a significant amount of food for other schools in the district this year so we will need to prepare for that. We also have many exciting new projects that we will be working on (like our chicken coop. That's right! We'll have chickens next year). Amongst other projects, we will be finishing up construction on our earth over. Everyone has been working hard to mix the clay and sand mix and build a sweet adobe style oven. Before long we will be firing it up to make pizzas for everyone. YUM! Thanks again so much for all of your support this year. We could not have done any of this without everyone's support!!
September is here already and our CSA boxes are bursting at the seams. This week we are harvesting broccoli, cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, dill, leeks, walla walla onions, kale, beets, thyme, potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, garlic, bok choi and sweet corn. Our watermelons are finally getting close and our winter squash and pumpkins are looking great. It’s been a cool wet summer out here but we feel good about what we’ve been able to accomplish given our limitations. We’re excited to finish the season off with a bang. 5 more weeks of CSA pickups after this week should photo by Liz Devine be a blast!
This week school has started here at Terra Nova. We are excited to be back to school. We will have a bunch of familiar faces on our crew this year as well as a couple new ones. It’s a great opportunity for our veterans to mentor some of the less seasoned student farmers.
We finished the summer out with a bang. We owe a HUGE thank you to the Avett Brothers, Travis Labbe, Jimi Biron of the Crystal Ballroom and KINK FM for putting together a benefit concert that seemed like a huge gift from above. (Please clink on review links to the right). Enough money was raised to ensure summer work positions for students in summer of 2011 and will allow us to invest in some essential tools that will allow us to do our work more efficiently. Also we will be starting a scholarship program for students involved in the farm program in the coming year. Amazing how huge this event was for the future of our program! Aside from raising a ton of money they put on an amazing show at the Crystal Ballroom that evening. We had the pleasure of cooking the band and crew dinner as well.. Thanks again Avett Brothers and everyone who was involved in giving us this opportunity.

Glad to be writing another web update. A lot has been going on in the month of August. For starters we hosted a youth health symposium called “Eat smart, Be Smart, Play Smart” where we discussed how to get healthy foods back into our schools as well as how to promote healthy lifestyles among youth. The symposium lead to a copious amount of good ideas and networking. It was amazing working with Big Picture Learning on this!!
We also hosted a class trip from Kinnamen Elementary School where we talked about what we're doing on the farm and helped to give them ideas that they can implement on their school garden
Our late summer's here and the farm is loving the heat... 
Haha, I feel like when ever I write a web update or a newsletter that I always talk about the sun and the heat. It really is one of the most important factors. CSA customer's have probably noticed their most recent box was significantly larger then the rest of the season. This is because all of the heat we've been having, the boxes should stay about the same size for the rest of the season.
Speaking of produce we have the first TOMATOES ready. The tomatoes went out in boxes last week. Customers will continue to get more and more tomatoes as the season goes on. Cabbage and cucumbers are also ready and going out in boxes now.
Tomorrow (Wednesday the 24th) we're going out to help out Greg Malinowski on his property. For those of you who don't know Greg has donated hours of his time tilling our fields with his tractor and being an avid supporter of our farm. We wouldn't be where we are without him so we're grateful to have the opportunity to give back.
I'd like to remind everyone about the POTLUCK on the 2nd. Just as a reminder a potluck is when everyone brings a dish (whether is be a side, dessert or entrée). It’s a great way to try new foods and get together with other people. We'd like to encourage you to try to use farm produce in your items but by no means feel restricted to use it.

Hi Everyone! As we approach the end of July things are in full swing out here at the farm. We have been in summer programming for 5 weeks now (Time flies!!). We have a crew of 11 students that have been working hard to tend our crops and grow all your veggies. Although we got a late start with the wet spring we are finally getting caught up. We’re anticipating things to really pick up production wise by mid-late August. The crew has really gelled nicely this year. Thanks to a generous grant we were able to hire more students this year. Already it has been a memorable summer. We’ve been working hard weeding, planting, harvesting and weeding some more. Of course there has been time for some fun as well. (Ask someone about the slip and slide
sometime). Tomorrow we will be taking an educational trip down to Persephone Farm in Lebanon. They grow amazing organic produce on a march larger scale
so it will be a great opportunity for our student farmers to see what agriculture on a different scale looks like.
In just over 2 weeks we will be hosting a symposium organized by the great folks at Big Picture Learning. The symposium title Eat Smart, Play Smart, Be Smart will be focused on youth health, diet, health related disease 
and youth activity. We will be gathering for 2 days with students, teachers, physicians and field experts from all around the country to put our brains together to figure out how we can support our students in becoming the healthiest young adults they can be. We’re really looking forward to this!!
As always come on out when you can for a student led tour. This is our home away from home so we would be happy to show you around!
Last update: Tuesday July 6th 2010
We enjoyed seeing all of you last Thursday for the CSA pick up. The sun’s out!!!! We’re still catching up but our hopes are high that this will still be an amazing season . . .The tomatoes have really taken off since the sun came out.
The field has started to dry out meaning we get to plant more…. We’ve recently gotten some winter squash and melons into the ground. Can’t wait until they’re harvested!
As we move into July we’re getting ready to harvest over 1500 garlic plants. We’re going to dry and cure them to be send home with you.
With that I’d like to remind ya’all that we’d love for you to come out and volunteer on the farm so that you can get to know us and vice versa.
Thanks and best wishes!!!! Levi
We are so excited that the CSA season is only a week away! Even though it has been a nasty spring and the weather has held us back a little bit, we will have produce for you all at the first pickup, and we are still optimistic that we will have a GREAT season this year! Some of the produce we will be giving you guys at the first pickup is peppermint, cilantro, lettuce and braising mix..
We have been working on a lot of things since we last updated this site. We have been planting potatoes, tomatoes, kale, cabbage, leeks, sunflowers, corn, a couple thousand onions, and more. All of the plants we have planted in the ground are showing a lot of growth, 
and so are the ones in the greenhouse that are waiting to be transplanted. Titus has been working on building a couple of benches to put on one of the pathways so that there will be a place to sit back and enjoy the scenery. We have been fighting with the drip tape (the irrigation) and some of us think the stuff is possessed. The Angelica plant is taller than we are now and is just buzzing with bees (pun intended). We still have some seeding and transplanting to do but the field is almost full!
Thanks!

Today we got word that we have received the 2010 Summer Conservation Corps grant from Oregon Youth Conservation Corps! This grant allows us to employ student farmers over the summer to grow your produce. We were rewarded the Youth Garden Grant for 2010 from the National Gardening Association. This gave us a $500 gift card to Home Depot for some much needed supplies.
We’ve attempted a green house extension a few times now; however, the wind continues to take its toll on it, so we’ve removed it. One of our 100 foot cold-frames has moved fields. As far as produce goes, yesterday we transplanted over one-thousand Leeks, five-hundred Walla Walla onions and some plants from the Brassicaceae family. These plants include kale, broccoli and cauliflower. Additionally we also got some chard in the ground.
We also recently went on a team building field trip to Sunset Lanes. It was a lot of fun!
We’d like to thank everyone that attended the 80’s Video Dance Attack at Lola’s Room. It was a huge success. All your support goes directly into supporting student learning on the farm.
Last update: Tuesday, March 02, 2010
Hey! Just having a friendly winter update here. We just finished extending our green house by thirty feet! This means we can grow even more tomatoes! We’ve started the first few seeds of the season and planted and side dressed over 1500 garlic plants! We’re beginning to plan for our expansion over to a new property just off of Kaiser. This will help up meet our quota since we expanded our CSA to 30 members!
Some new features on the farm include a new vegetable washing/packing station and a garden arch/trellis. We’re beginning to plant some beets in the ground and get the ground tilled up for transplants. In the past it took over an hour to water the green house, now we’ve built a new overhead watering system to increase time efficiency. Some fun highlights of our winter were our trip to The Crystal Ballroom where we had a tour and ate lunch It was amazing! We’re also having a Farm benefit At Lola’s room on March 6th at 8pm (a Saturday). The theme is “80’s Vide
o Dance Attack”
We were also award a grant from the National Gardening Association for a total of $500”
Thanks!

So we have wrapped up our first CSA season. We are proud to say that it was a tremendous success. We were able to produce enough high-quality produce to supply the 18 families involved in our CSA. Students involved in the program also exhibited a tremendously high level of responsibility in taking ownership over the farm. And we were fortunate to have incredibly supportive members who were just amazing to get to know every week. We couldn’t have done any of this without their support. It really felt like a community effort that was developed and nurtured by all of those involved. 
Our field is tilled up and the winter cover crop will be planted next week. We just planted 1000 garlic cloves for next year’s crop. We are also tending to our winter crops of lettuce that will ultimately become salad to the students in our school. We just got our first salad bar delivered last week! Exciting!!! As the weather keeps us inside more often we will soon be deep in planning for our 2010 season. We are planning on expanding to 30 shares for next year and growing on a satellite property. If anyone is interested in joining the CSA for next season please let us know soon as we expect to fill up pretty quick. You can find our contact info on the Contact Us page.

This summer has been a climactic one for the Terra Nova Community Farm. The farmers and CSA members have been seeing the fruits of their toil and then some! The harvest has been impressive; we barely know what to do with all the produce! There has been plenty of all types of veggies (especially squash) for the farmers to take home even after the harvest was divvied into the CSA boxes. The feedback from members and neighbors has been astonishing. Once a week or so, a friendly stranger wanders into the farm curious about the program. Paul, being the nice guy he is, gladly gives them the skinny. He sometimes hooks them up with some summer squash too. Unless it happens to be a shady and apparently dazed individual searching for his vehicle, which he apparently believes is lost in our farm. Of course, that’s only happened once, and it was hilarious.
This summer has shown the dedication of the young 
farmers, which makes the future as bright as ever for the farm as we expand onto new land (or “terra nova” in latin…coincidence!?), both metaphorically and literally. Judging from the public opinion of this project, the extra shares provided by the new land will easily be filled. We hope as new generations of students come to Terra Nova, they will see the beautiful farm and become interested in the project. I’m glad to be part of pioneering this venture and making in impact on the future.

Wow. Hard to believe that it is already mid-July. This season has been flying by. We are already onto our 8
th week of CSA pickups. We are also one month into our summer work program. Through a generous grant from the Oregon Youth Conservation Corps we were able to hire 5 students part time through the summer to keep the gardens growing and fill our CSA shares. Mike, Jenny, Levi, Cameron, and Cassidy have been working very hard pl
anting weeding and harvesting amongst other projects. They have been an all-star crew who have shown determination with their work and have taken amazing ownership over the program. It has been amazing watching them develop relationships with our CSA members during the weekly pickups. As of this week we are harvesting cucumbers, summer squash, basil, parsley, arugula, cilantro, bok choy, kale, chard, braising mix, fennel, lettuce, green onions, fennel, garlic and edible flowers. Our tomato plants are loaded with fruit and we await a little more heat to help ripen them. As our school is located at an elevation
of almost 600 feet it is a little cooler up here and crops come in a little later.
We’re excited about the rest of the summer. It’s been fun to see our crops grow at an exponential rate and we can’t wait to see what will happen next. We have felt so supported by our community. Almost every day somebody else stops by to inquire about what we are up to and let us know what a great idea it is. We really wouldn’t be able to do this without everybody’s support and we are extremely thankful for it.
