This year's (2024's and last year's) summer camp and volunteer t-shirts feature stunning artwork on the back (see below).
When we first saw this design by Savannah, we saw it as depicting our local King and Queen Mountains rising majestically within the Paw symbol. The pathway that this farm lies upon, between these two hills, was traveled for generations by the Indigenous Nooksack people. It led them to the rich and nourishing waters of the Salish Sea, from the foothills to the water's edge, just beyond this peaceful farm we call home.
It served as a vital route for sustenance and trade for generations, and we're incredibly grateful to continue this connection to the earth on this sacred land. A special thanks to Savannah for creating this beautiful artwork for everyone to enjoy.
