2022 Fresh from the Farm Guide Now Available Online! |
Our team has worked so hard to bring you the best Fresh from the Farm Guide yet! And even with all our hard work and catching up to a timeline that we were two months behind on, we still fell subject to some supply chain issues with our paper for the guide. Don’t fret, they are on their way and in the meantime we are happy to present our guide to you online! You can find everything guide-related on our website! |

We are beyond thrilled with our cover art and artist this year. To say we are honored to be showcasing local artist, Lisa Kattenbraker’s batik work is an understatement! She does such visually stunning work and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we have been. Be sure to check out her website and Instagram to see more of her unique batik masterpieces. |
| Meet Our Cover Artist-Lisa Kattenbraker-Batik ArtistI am an artist living and working in Olympia for the last 15 years. For over 25 years I have been creating batiks using locally harvested beeswax, fiber reactive and natural dyes on cotton fabric. The narrative batiks are expressions of experiences from my own life, while the imagery, patterns, symbols, and faceless stick figures invite the viewer to bring their own stories into each creation with the hopes of sparking conversation and connection. The past few years I have worked with a focus on connecting with ancestors and the ways communities grow together. I travel the country exhibiting my work, and when home can be found in the studio and garden. Visit her website at lisauntitled.com and her Instagram at lisauntitled. |

 | The Community Farm Land Trust is a membership-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving farmland and to keeping it farmed forever. Based in Olympia, WA, it concentrates on the areas south of Puget Sound. At present the organization consists of a working board of directors, a 3 person part-time staff, volunteers, and a general membership of about 140. In addition to its new farm acquisition, CFLT has stewardship responsibility for three other farming properties: Scatter Creek Farm and Conservancy, Oyster Bay Farm, and the production ground for GRuB (Garden-Raised Bounty) a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working with youth and communities at the intersection of food, education, and health.
CFLT’s mission includes increasing public support for local farming and local food. Each year it produces a 80 page publication, Fresh From the Farm Guide, a directory of local farm to table resources. The guide features almost 100 area farms selling directly to the public. Twelve thousand copies of the directory are distributed annually to the surrounding four counties free of charge.
