Volunteering

TLC Farm seeks word savvy volunteer of awesomeness

Tryon Life Community Farm, a sustainability education and demonstration land project in SW Portland, does a lot of cool stuff. Like, a LOT of cool stuff, like more than you can probably imagine.

 

At the moment, however, our dedicated fans and admirers, as well as the public in general, are relatively ill-informed as to the awesomeness that is brewing right here in the wide open. And that, my friends, is because we have no body to compile, compose and comport our Monthly Update, an electronic communique telling the whole wide world what's up at TLC Farm.
