..Berries and tomatoes freeze like a breeze: just put them in a bag and you’re done!
..Stone fruit and peppers also freeze easily with just a bit more prep, usually you want to take out the pits or seeds and cut them up a bit, but they hold up great
..Make jam! Berries, peaches, tomatoes, you name it…
..Make pickles or relish: fermented, vinegar, canned, or just refrigerator pickles. We have a new farmer coming this week who specializes in melons, but he’ll also be stocked up on pickling cucumbers and dill. Find him at Plum Tummy Gardens!
..Freeze pesto, or any herb ground up in oil
..Dry fruit, tomatoes, herbs, or make kale chips

About the musician:
Born in Virginia, and inspired by his southern black heritage, Tevis Hodge began playing blues at the age of 12 years old, though he first started guitar at the age of six. With a deep love for Black American music, Tevis is compelled to bring the traditions of his heritage to life.
Well versed in multiple blues idioms such as the Piedmont, Delta, Texas, urban and country blues styles, He also dips into jazz, jug band, folk and even old timey novelty tunes. Tevis Hodge Jr’s repertoire is an eclectic mix while his performance oozes with originality and passion. Adding his own flare to the songs he covers, he seamlessly presents originals that can mingle with the classics and stay true to the source.
At the age of 13 Tevis started to gravitate to performing at school events, open mics, and on the street. With a considerable amount of experience for his age, Tevis has enjoyed a career opening for acts ranging from Robert Cray to Living Colour, and performing onstage with such acts as Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary,) vaudeville legend Baby Gramps, “Boogie-Cat” Norman Sylvester, guitar virtuoso Mary Flower and soul extraordinaire Ural Thomas to name a few. Tevis is a 4x Muddy Award recipient (2023,2024) and has had great reception at festivals, fairs, markets, clubs, vineyards and venues alike.

Community-Centered Death Care: A Lived Experience
Presenters: Kevin Shukla, Jim Emmerson, and Gale Ousele

Join the North Coast EOL Collective for a virtual conversation about one family’s experience caring for a loved one through the end of life and beyond: the support in her final months, care for her body after her passing, a home burial, and continued care for her living legacy.

Kevin Shukla, a resident of Hebo and frequent participant in the North Coast EOL Collective offerings and the Coastal Community Death Care Series, will be joined by Jim Emmerson and Gale Ousele; friends, neighbors, and co-facilitators in one peaceful passing. Together, they will reflect on their experience throughout the entire continuum of home death care.

Rather than a “how-to” presentation, this offering will provide an opportunity to learn through lived experience. Their story invites us to consider what is possible when families, friends, and communities reclaim meaningful roles in caring for one another through death, burial, remembrance, and stewardship.

As always, there will be time for conversation and questions.

This offering reflects the North Coast EOL Collective’s belief that learning about death and dying happens not only through education, but through listening to one another’s stories, strengthening community wisdom, and creating A Collective Approach to Death and Dying.

There is no cost to participate. Questions: welcom@northcoasteolcollective.com

This Friday from 4–6pm, Green Coast Market is hosting a free tasting with a representative from Durant Olive Mill in Dayton.

Green Coast Market is located at 117 N Miller Street in charming downtown Rockaway Beach. We’re open 11–6 every day and happily welcome SNAP/EBT customers.

P.S. We still have bubble wrap and cardboard boxes. Need some? Hit us up anytime! 🙂

Moving through the decades — teens to fifties — Of a Certain Age explores the unfurling of a life, capturing the tones of the ages, from loss of innocence to contemplation of death. Of the collection, poet Emmett Wheatfall writes “Each poem adds a new layer of intelligence and canny magnetism while a subtle sense of spirituality also weaves through the poems—notwithstanding love, tenderness, kinetic energy, sensuality, and heartbreak. …A wonderful collection for readers coming of age, especially for those in the latter half of life.” Poet Joann Boswell calls the collection, “a breathtaking inspiration.”

Of a Certain Age is available in paperback from Fernwood Press and major booksellers. At the event, the author will be signing books.

After almost two decades living on the Oregon North Coast, Tricia Gates Brown now lives and works as a writer/editor in Newberg, Oregon. Her poetry has appeared in several literary journals. Her second novel, Finding Something to Love, will be released in July 2027 by Vine Leaves Press. Website: triciagatesbrown.net.
