7th graders from Coburg Community Charter School visited Dick and MaryAnne Severson at Severson Farms!

Students got an up-close look at the Seversons’ cow-calf operation and learned about the many skills and responsibilities involved in raising cattle. Dick shared his knowledge on cattle husbandry, nutrition, pasture management, ear tagging, branding, and the tools and techniques used when a calf needs assistance during birth.

The day was filled with memorable experiences, but a few student favorites stood out: watching branding demonstrations, enjoying MaryAnne’s famous homemade cookies, and riding through the pasture alongside the cows.

Thank you to Dick and MaryAnne for opening your farm and sharing your expertise with the next generation of agricultural leaders!

What a FABULOUS day for the 6th graders from Coburg Community Charter School at Stahlbush Island Farms!

Students got a behind-the-scenes look at modern agriculture, touring the processing plant, learning about the farm’s biogas generator, and watching organic green beans being planted in the field. They even got their hands dirty planting squash starts and enjoyed tasting fresh blueberries, corn, and green pea purée grown right on the farm!

Farm Manager Josh shared how Stahlbush manages its organic crops, demonstrated how planting equipment works, and explained how GPS technology helps guide planting and crop management throughout the growing season.

The day wrapped up with a cupcake decorating contest featuring cupcakes made by Chelsea from Stahlbush’s marketing team using the farm’s pumpkin purée—a delicious way to end an unforgettable visit!

Thank you to the entire Stahlbush Island Farms team for providing such a fun, educational, and hands-on agricultural experience for these students!

Harrisburg Middle School’s 6th grade Ag class had a FANTASTIC field trip to Boshart Trucking last week! 🚛🌾 They spent the morning learning all about custom baling, straw export, trucking, grass seed, and hazelnuts with Farmer Eric and Stan from Boshart Trucking.

Students watched straw bales being loaded onto a truck that is headed all the way to Lynden, Washington, explored different seed types and sizes, and compared parts from an F-150 and a semi truck to see just how different they are. They also learned how hazelnuts are grown, harvested, and propagated — and even got to guess the weight of the entire class using the truck scale!

It was a morning packed with hands-on learning, great questions, and real-world connections to Oregon agriculture. Huge thanks to Farmer Eric and Stan for sharing their time and knowledge with students!

Happy Memorial Day! Today we pause to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Happy World Turtle Day! Did you know? Many farms across Oregon work to protect natural areas like wetlands, ponds, and field edges that provide shelter and food for wildlife, including turtles and other native species.
Good farming isn’t just about growing crops. It’s also about caring for the land as a whole ecosystem, where wildlife and agriculture can thrive side by side.
So today, we’re celebrating one of nature’s slow-and-steady reminders that stewardship matters.
