As we serve children and families, we hope you'll see that this is about more than just a fun place to play, share food, or better care for our planet. In our commoditized world, this project is our form of resistance, our commitment to the future, and our belief in the power of compassion.
Hey! We're generally happy parents to three awesome kids. We all have our moments - good, bad, and everything in between. Parenting is teaching us to stay humble, dig for hope in the chaos, and practice interdependence. There's a lot of beautiful moments, and plenty of struggle mixed in.
Our kids love pickled red onions and sushi, so our parenting is currently successful in at least one area. We love to be outside camping, biking, or floating the river. Adam enjoys volunteering with Clackamas County Search and Rescue. Annie loves gardening and finding small moments of tranquility. Even though we don't have life all figured out yet, we are blessed and we want to help build a thriving community.
We want to bring more good to our parenting. We want friends to come play and work it out together. We want to resonate with the land we live on and the foods we eat. We want our kids to really learn what it is to be kind in a messy world. We want to live on purpose. We hope you'll join us.
