I just created a Yahoo group called “Portland Backyard Farmers” as a sister/brother/estranged-step-cousin group to “Portland Backyard Chickens“. It seemed like a good idea to have a separate place to share sources, tips, questions, etc. about raising fruits and veggies, pollinators (my personal favorite), and preparing and preserving the goodies.
It’s a big topic, but I figure we can always split it out later if it’s too broad to be useful.
Come on by, sign up, say some stuff.


hello! just curious as to if you and/or your peeps would be interested in selling your produce at the sandy mountain market happening saturdays may-oct. $10/10ft and the market also has crafts, live music and a beer garden. its located at the sandy civic plaza in downtown sandy. 10-5. see you there?
Hi Suzi… sorry I was so slow getting back to this… I lost a whole bunch of comments and just found them.
I’d suggest that you post to the pdxbackyardfarmers group directly. You’d probably have a better time hitting your target audience there. I’m the moderator, and it seems like a perfectly acceptable kind of thing to post.
