BE OUR BACKER!

We’re doing a Kickstarter campaign to raise some funds for our summer jobs program, but it’s basically a pre-order for the awesome shirts Daniel Ness (one of our farmers) has designed. Feel free to check out the link, pick out a shirt if you like it and share the news!

 Back our kickstarter project and help us *grow* our internship budget. We are excited to offer a selection of spectacular rewards, all crafted by our awesome farm interns. They are artists, cooks, garden designers, and above all they are hardworking youth that could use your support.

ODOT Adding southbound lane on I-5 @Carman Drive

An ODOT contractor is beginning work this month on a project on I-5 southbound from Carman Drive to Lower Boones Ferry Road. The fourth lane of I-5 southbound that currently tapers off just south of the Carman Drive off-ramp will be extended past the interchange to connect with the existing exit-only lane for Lower Boones Ferry Road. This will help reduce rear-end crashes in this heavily congested section of I-5, thus increasing traffic flow. Any lane closures on I-5 will occur during nighttime work hours. Project completion is slated for August 2012.
