Forrest Hellum-Willits joined 10,000 other bikers for Pedalpalooza's World Naked Bike Ride.
One million people. Naked. And Nuded.
All through town. A nice guy.
It feels good with our naked bodies. Nude People. Lots of people are cheering. Music and noises.
It's really fun.
We're going to do it next year too.
by the way, I farted on Saturday. There's going to be a whole lot of people there...a whole lot. There were 200 people on skateboards.
It feels like heaven.
There were a whole bunch of cops.
I was so excited to go! Tons of lights! All over the city.
Beautiful! Sexy.

A Painting and a Poem by Patsy Blaiser
“ A Dozen Red Roses Have Opened My Heart
P.S. I’m close to my mother and dad and everything and that’s how special they are to me because I love them very much and I said why? And I will take a dozen red roses and go out to the cemetery and put some flowers on their grave. ”

The red, the yellow and the blue
It’s shaped like a flower
In my heart
Why is that?
Everyone can see me happy
And everything goes right
This area goes from there and this part here is my area
To me, I’ve got somebody in my life
And the flowers are meant to be
Belong to a certain party I know
I wish that he would come up here
And look at the painting that I did
Oliver
He’s nine
He is taller than I am
And he’s really nice to me
He helped me out a lot
He showed me how to be
And the numbers
And the alphabet
And stuff like that
And he said
He makes me happy
He helped me out and everything
When I get stuck
He helped me
To me,
It’s opened my heart up
Every time I see it (this painting)
It tells me my heart has opened up wide
And my life is very special
And that’s why I love these flowers
It talks to me
Because I pray to God
And it has butterflies on it
Along with the flowers
Along with a dozen red roses
I like someone in my life
And he cares about me
He would help me out a lot
That’s what the flowers telling me
I had to tell somebody
It also tells me
A certain party I know will help me out
It’s You.

Harvest: Week 1!
WEEK 1 – 6/14/11
Packing List:
+Bag of Magenta Orach
+Arugula
+Mizuna & Mustard
+Bunch of Radishes
+Bunch of chives
+Lovage
+Half-dozen of eggs
+Spinach
+Mint
Hello Shareholders!
What an exciting day it is. We've been looking forward to this day since last November, and it is finally here! The first of 18 weeks of deliveries, and it's a great showing of June's offerings in this cool maritime spring (summer, supposedly). The real "June" winners (peas and strawberries) are still a week or two out, but look forward to them. All of our heartier offerings tend to be later season crops, but the light fare offered in this box will hopefully complement the hot weather we wish to see soon. Wishful thinking. There are obviously excellent salad opportunities offered in this box, but don't discount the cooked possibilities of the orach, arugula, spinach, and even the radish greens.
Right now at the farm, we're still planting, scrambling to get the fields in order and accounted for, and work hastily on our various non-food farm projects. The new farm/garden site up on Legacy Emanuel's property is moving along, with infrastructure being added steadily. Tim is still waiting for his knee to recover enough to get back to kneeling/lifting/moving without crutches, while James and everyone else have been working hard without fail. Oh! Save the date! Our third annual North Portland Farm Throwdown is on Saturday the 25th, featuring good (free) beer from Ninkasi, The amazing Jeffrey Jerusalem, SAFE, and Malaikat dan Singa performing outside in the farm. It's always a blast, and this year will be even nicer since we're not working to fancy the place up until the last moment.
Once again, make sure to leave this week’s box flattened and ready for pickup next week! We hope you enjoy this food!
