We're dedicated to putting our utmost effort and passion into the soil and food that sustains you. Through hard work and innovative practices, we strive to provide the best.

June Exhibition at ART ON FIRST: Emotionally Charged Narrative Paintings - Carol Aust

Monday, June 2 - Monday, June 30, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, June 6, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are emotionally charged narrative paintings by Carol Aust. Carol's compositions are filled with intense emotional stories infused with mysterious tension and secrecy. She often places her figures in precarious environments where anything could happen. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes lonely and disturbing, her paintings express a wide range of human desire and yearning. Carol’s artwork consistently features strong and vibrant colors along with figures that are both engaging and vulnerable.

We have a wide assortment of food available. Bags with staple items are pre-filled, but we will gladly add any special requests if they are available. When you visit, there is always a simple lunch. On the last Wednesday of every month, we serve a pretty darned good hot meal with salad and a huge table filled with pies and desserts. We call it a community lunch. All are welcomed.

Have you been waiting for the right time to get back to work on that novel or short story that’s started collecting dust? Or maybe you just need some inspiration to kickstart a new writing project? Join us at the Ashland library for our biweekly peer support creative writing workshop! Each participant will choose an excerpt from their project to read aloud and receive feedback from the rest of the group to help improve their work in a positive and collaborative environment.

Please bring a copy of your work to the library ahead of time if you need assistance printing extra copies.

Local photographer and writer Matt Witt will share a sampling of the 132 photographs in a new hard-cover book, Monumental Beauty, that highlights the beauty and biodiversity of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument on the monument’s 25th anniversary on Wednesday June 18th at 6 pm at Northwest Nature Shop.

Ancient waterfalls, mysterious volcanic shapes, towering trees, and richly colored wildflowers grace this home to more than 3,500 different plants and mammals, invertebrates, insects, reptiles, birds, and other living beings.

100% of the proceeds from the book go to Soda Mountain Wilderness Council which for more than 40 years has promoted and protected what is now the monument.

In a foreword to Monumental Beauty, Don Gentry, former chair of the Klamath Tribes, writes: “Today, protection of the land is urgent as climate change puts our watersheds and forests, and even our homes and our culture, at risk. We have always been one with the land and always will be. The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is one important way to help us protect it.”

Matt Witt is a photographer and writer in Talent who has been hiking and photographing in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument for 20 years. He has been selected as Artist in Residence at Crater Lake National Park, Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, and other venues. His work has been selected for exhibitions both in the U.S. and Europe and may be seen at MattWittPhotography.com.
