Help Close the Gap + Open the Doors! 🌱 needs to raise $100K to complete its new Discovery West Marketplace and open the doors before Thanksgiving.

This new marketplace creates another reliable, year-round place for local farmers, ranchers, and makers like us to strengthen the local food system and give Central Oregon communities more access to local food.

We’re proud to be part of the Central Oregon Locavore community, and excited to see a second Locavore Marketplace coming to Discovery West! 🌱

💪 Help us close the gap to get Locavore's Discovery West location across the finish line! 💥 Every gift, donation, and share helps:

This is a “Tropical or Desert Checkered Skipper”. In this case it’s a High Desert Checkered skipper. While it’s enjoying the calendula on our fame, their host plant is mallow. Common mallow (Malva neglecta) is a “weed” growing all over Central Oregon that has beautiful benefits for people and pollinators alike. Mallow is even mentioned in the oldest book of the Bible as a beneficial plant. The cool thing about this moth is that it has antennae that look like golf clubs.

“Planking” dandelions for the pollinators, people I love and the planet. The best way to deal with weeds is to change your thinking about what they are. The Creator designed our bodies to receive the benefits of plants. But we can only receive those benefits when we change how we think (literally what “repent” means…change how you think). When we change how we think we can receive the benefits and goodness of Creation. How do you used dandelions for your health?
