SEASIDE — Jump into the growing season at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 31 with “Seed to Plate: Edibles for North Coast Gardeners to Grow and Cook” at the Seaside Public Library. The event will be presented by local organic farmer Teresa Retzlaff of 46 North Farm and the North Coast Food Web.
An opportunity to pursue her passion for organic farming led Retzlaff to the Oregon Coast in 2003, where she and her husband, Packy, joined an emerging community of growers and local food enthusiasts. For six years they operated a small farm in Seaside, and in 2009 they started 46 North Farm on 18 acres of land they purchased in Olney, where they grow vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers.
Retzlaff’s commitment to a healthy local food economy along the coast led to her become a founding member of the North Coast Food Web, an organization that builds connections in the local food landscape.
If you are having trouble growing vegetables in the North Coast’s short and cantankerous growing season, you can find some tips at this talk – Retzlaff will share her expertise on the subject. She will also provide appetizer examples of locally grown edibles and sell her plant starts.
Drop that shovel, put the hoe back in the shed, and bring your questions to the Seaside Public Library, at 1131 Broadway, for an afternoon of gardening delight. For more information, call 503-738-6742 or visit www.seasidelibrary.org
