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.
