Hi there! My name is Crystal Kelso, and I\u2019m working this summer with Teagan Moran, small farms outreach coordinator in Linn, Lane, and Benton counties. One of my projects is researching and putting together resources for military veteran famers for our region and statewide. My big project is organizing the Military Veteran Farm Tour Series. I\u2019m really excited about this because working with veterans in the field and on farms is something that means a lot to me, and something that I really enjoy. The veterans I\u2019ve talked with are also really excited to be part of the tour and getting connected with fellow veteran farmers in Oregon.<\/p>\n

Other than organizing the Veteran Farm Tour Series, I\u2019ve been working on updating the links and resources for some of the pages on the OSU Small Farms website<\/a>, such as the drought, fire, flood, disaster relief and resilience programs page<\/a> and the and wildfires page<\/a>. I\u2019ve attended a Willamette Women\u2019s Farm Network Medicinal Herb Farm Tour as well and met some amazing ladies who are growing herbs and flowers. I\u2019m going to be putting together a booklet with recipes using herbs and flowers from the group too! Last week, I worked the Extension booths at both the Linn and Lane County fairs.<\/p>\n

I look forward to meeting the veteran farmers in person on the tours and making some lasting connections both with them and the herb group. This has been a great opportunity for me so far, and I\u2019m enjoying being part of the team!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
