We also hosted birthday parties for folk of all ages. *Land events* We had the best turnout ever for our annual Apple Fest, which included tasting several varieties of apples, making and tasting cider and learning about the richness of perennial fruit production. We also hosted several community potlucks and movie nights and had several "anti-social socials" for introverts. *Indigenous Solidarity* TLC Farm continued to be the fiscal sponsor for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA. We also created a fund to support an indigenous elder who leads ceremonies on this land, and hosted a Native Food Sovereignty and fry bread educational gathering. 5819 0 0 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM. *Increased Land Access* New volunteers have committed to tending the paths and outbuildings on the land, ensuring better access for all visitors. *Organic Garden & Food Forest*: We helped maintain the large educational gardens and two Food Forests (multi-level perennial food production systems that mimic the production of a natural ecosystem). This year saw good pollination and many visitors learned about the importance of native pollinators like our Mason Bees. We helped build a new greenhouse to extend the growing season. *Animal Husbandry*: TLC Farm is one of the only educational urban farms in the Portland area to provide access to a dairy goat herd, which is very popular with all visitors, as well as an important opportunity to visit with and learn about traditional farm animals. The goats had babies in the spring - which always delights visitors. The roving chicken flock also provides eggs, education, and fertilization. *Invasive plant removal* Continued the systematic program of removing blackberries from most of the land and replanting with native plants, with a focus on the headwaters of the seasonal creek. Several large volunteer work parties and the goats helped with this project! 0 0 0 174525 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 OR X X Brenna Bell 5032453847 11640 SW Boones Ferry Rd Portland OR 97219 X Paige Evans Secretary Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Katherine Flanagan President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Borden Beck Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Traci Jo Partin Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34176 0 34176 89864 89864 0 0 89864 179 0 0 179 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24992 0 14961 0 10031 0 10031 0 0 10031 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 134250 89864 0 10210 X 65467 65467 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 80322 80322 0 0 0 0 0 0 1206 1206 0 0 6954 6954 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5546 0 5546 0 0 0 0 0 52 52 0 0 0 0 5296 4976 320 0 482 482 0 0 4162 2826 1064 272 352 280 72 0 0 0 0 0 6927 6875 46 6 95 95 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4859 4853 3 3 1280 0 1280 0 430 189 241 0 183430 174525 8572 333 6315 1860 154431 105869 714 0 5644 7396 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3144 5369 1087330 85912 1012067 1001418 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1182315 1121912 18707 18146 0 0 12467 17139 0 0 0 0 0 0 127983 112649 1 1 0 0 159158 147935 X 946933 923271 76224 50706 1023157 973977 1182315 1121912 X -49180 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 42829 47481 138060 93998 34176 356544 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 42829 47481 138060 93998 34176 356544 20977 335567 202 222 161 294 179 1058 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 357602 344539 0.93838 0.71534 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 300500 300500 0 198337 29886 168451 0 0 0 0 0 3557 2851 706 0 584936 53175 531761 1001418 1 Missing andf Murdered Indigenous Women USA 11640 SW Boones Ferry Rd Portland OR 97219 501(c)3 65107 0 General support 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 TLC Farm has a fiscal sponsorship agreement with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA.
