There is so much going on in the world, certainly a lot of it is not healthy or based on community. OK. We each do what we can about that. But there is absolutely no reason to avoid celebrating what is beautiful, kind, and forward leaning at the same time.

So, on Friday, April 10, from 4-6, here's the plan.

Step One. Go HERE to order a hoodie, t-shirt, or ball cap with the Organic Farm School logo on it! Pre-order by March 15.

Step Two. Plan to come to the Farm on Friday, April 10 at 4pm. We'll distribute the shirts and caps.

Step Three. Meet our new Training/Farm Manager, Cindy Krepke. Although she has a strong history of farming in the Snoqualmie Valley, she has most recently been living and farming in southern Oregon. Come introduce yourself and hear about plans for the year!

Step Four. Meet our five Apprentices! We are so excited to have Carmela, Ryan, Brian, Grace, and Jonathan joining us for the year!

Step Five. Put on your new OFS gear and pose with us for a group photograph! It's going to be a dynamic year and we want to document how it all gets rolling!

Step Six. A mini-potluck, bring your own plates, serving pieces, an appetizer to share, and your favorite beverage. Rain or Shine, we'll all celebrate the beginning of a rambunctious season.

Step Seven. Do us a favor and RSVP? Let us know if you order some swag, and indicate that you're bringing something for the table. That just helps us plan for the rain/shine issue.

No matter how heavy the world is, collectively we have broad shoulders and so many reasons to CELEBRATE!
