Looking for a meaningful way to spend your Tuesday morning?

Join us tomorrow for Community Volunteer Day at the farm!

Summer is in full swing, which means there’s plenty to do in the field. Volunteers help with whatever the season calls for—planting, weeding, harvesting, mulching, and keeping our vegetables thriving through the warm months ahead.

No farm experience is needed. We’ll provide the tools, gloves, and guidance. Just bring water, sun protection, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and a willingness to lend a hand.

🌱 Tuesday, June 23
🕘 9–11 AM
📍 Seed to Table Farm, Sisters

As a thank you, volunteers head home with fresh vegetables from the farm and the satisfaction of helping grow food for our community.

Kids are welcome with a grown-up by their side.

🥬 Some vegetables make you do a double take

This Napa cabbage tipped the scales at 7 pounds and was harvested this week on the farm.

We’re not sure whether to make kimchi, a salad, or enter it in a county fair.

What’s the biggest vegetable you’ve ever grown?

🌱 A note from the field by Farm Manager Viv

‘By growing vegetables in Sisters, Oregon, over the years, the farmers at Seed to Table often find themselves countering the high desert’s natural processes, working against nature rather than supporting the area’s natural systems. We use row cover to protect vulnerable plants from the natural frost cycle. Unable to rely on consistent rain, we water crops through methods of human design. We confront pests with reactive and quick fixes.

Although we continue to grow vegetables in an unfavorable climate, over the last few years, the farm team has oriented to a more ecosystem-minded approach. We have leaned further toward supporting the natural systems in finding a more balanced state. When pests show up, as they always do, we have learned to not always reach for a quick fix, but to ask what the ecosystem is missing. We consistently release beneficial insects, like minute pirate bugs, to help manage pest infestations. Instead of always seeing pests as enemies to eliminate, we see them as signals. When their populations spike, it often means there is an imbalance somewhere in the farm ecosystem.

This year, we have also introduced beneficial nematodes into the soil. These microscopic allies help control root-feeding pests without disrupting the life underground. Healthy soil is not just dirt — it is a living system, and when it thrives, plants are better equipped to resist stress.

Near our greenhouses where fruiting crops grow, we have planted hedgerows of flowering herbs and native blooms. These flowers attract pollinators and provide habitat and nectar for predatory insects that help us balance our pest populations.

Supporting the whole ecosystem is slower work. It asks for observation, patience, and trust. But over time, we hope the farm will become more resilient, less dependent on intervention, and more alive in every sense.’

🐞 What helps your garden thrive? Have you noticed pollinators, beneficial insects, or other signs of a healthy ecosystem at work? We’d love to hear what you’re seeing.

Fresh greens, sweet peas, bunches of radishes, and yes… carrots 🥕

Last Sunday was a beautiful day at the Sisters Farmers Market, and our farm stand was buzzing from the moment the market opened. One thing became clear very quickly: if you want carrots, don’t wait!

Our carrots sold out within the first few hours of the market, alongside plenty of other fresh-picked favorites from the farm.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, ask questions, and bring Seed to Table Oregon produce home to your kitchen. We love connecting with our community each Sunday and sharing what’s growing on the farm.

And swipe through to see one of this week’s more unusual harvests: a double carrot. 🥕🥕

🚨Breaking news: second graders willingly ate leafy greens.

Last week, students from Sisters School District turned fresh farm vegetables into their own “Garden on a Cracker” creations. There were crunchy greens, colorful veggies, creative combinations, and plenty of proud smiles.

One student even skipped the cracker altogether and went straight for a leaf fresh from the farm. We have photographic evidence!

Moments like these remind us that when kids grow food, harvest food, and prepare food themselves, they’re much more likely to give new vegetables a try—and often come back for seconds.

What’s the most surprising vegetable a kid in your life has willingly eaten?

544 pounds of fresh produce, harvested for our community

Last month, volunteers with the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance’s Grow & Give program came to Seed to Table Oregon to glean 544 pounds of radishes and turnips headed to NeighborImpact and its network of food banks and meal sites across Central Oregon.

Gleaning is the practice of harvesting produce and helping connect it with local food access programs. Through Grow & Give, local farmers are paid a wholesale rate for produce, volunteers help harvest and pack it, and fresh vegetables make their way to families and community organizations throughout the region.

A huge thank you to the High Desert Food & Farm Alliance team and every volunteer who spent the morning harvesting, washing, sorting, and packing. We’re grateful to be part of a community that works together to grow, harvest, and share fresh food across Central Oregon.

🌱 A note from the field by farm team member Chloe

‘Years ago my friend and I were on a walk when we caught ourselves in a nostalgic session of storytelling about the spring seasons of our childhoods. I reminisced on the colors familiar to me in northern Idaho - the rolling fields of neon yellow canola blooming en masse, the surprise of a camas lily marsh erupting in a rich shade of indigo, the illuminated green of a lady fern. We laughed about our tolerance for weather whiplash and how often we were playing tennis in tank tops then shoveling snow off the courts the next week.

Our walk was truly nothing out of the ordinary. But maybe you know how these conversations feel? It is a precious experience, to find something you and a friend both share a deep love for then together dig into all the warm memories you have surrounding it. The way we reveled in spring that day sat with me for a long time.

Then, this past week I was closing our hoop houses on the farm just as the sun was beginning to think about setting. The last few nights had been cold and rapt with an overstimulating wind that kept the team working diligently to keep the veggies cozy. I had just spent the evening feeling warmed by gratitude from our CSA members, and I was now wading through a patch of chamomile so sweet it begged me to slow down. And suddenly this walk with my friend from years ago came back to me.

I was reminded of how glorious spring is, and all the reasons I love it. I thought - how lucky am I to work in a place with so many colors, so much subtlety, so deeply rife with care? I think my love for Spring stems from moments like this - where your body is shocked by a new environment, like the sun after a rainy windstorm or blooming lupine after shades of green and brown all winter. A myriad of juxtapositions. In Spring we get to witness our land wake up and it usually comes with growing pains that remind us to cherish all the gentle moments. What better place to be consistently reminded of Spring’s beauty than a farm?’

💐 What signs of spring make you stop and appreciate the season? We’d love to hear what brings you that same sense of wonder.
