The Wild Web: Stories Across the Synod highlighted Creator's partnership with Ally Oredi and FPRP this week.
As you pull into Creator Lutheran’s parking lot on a Sunday morning you
might ask yourself: is this a church or a farm? And, the answer would
be: YES!
Located along SE Sunnyside Road in unincorporated Clackamas County, the
former church lawn, nearly .5 acres, is now home to rows of lovingly
tended greens and roots of all kinds - cabbage, kale, cassava and
collards, foods that are familiar and nourishing to African immigrants
and refugees and Ally Oredi, the lead farmer stewarding the garden. You may also catch our Synod Vice
President, Paul Stromberg, a member of Creator, out in the field with
him, checking on the irrigation system they installed together..
