Join us for a lovely potluck celebrating local food grown and preserved by hard-working farmers and community members. Music by Prairie Fire.
Our preservation dinner aims to complement the lively fall harvest dinners that happen in the community. In late winter as we emerge from the cold, dark weather, we can remember the fruits of our labor as we savor preserved goods from our abundant summer and fall harvests. We can celebrate the continuation of the cycle of life that connects us all. We want to offer an evening to showcase local food, nutrition programs, and farmer opportunities. Farming is connection to community eating, health, and environmental sustainability. Please come and see what is happening in our community and share what you may be doing as well.
Calling all producers, growers, grocers, markets, local food banks, food access programs, chefs & restaurants focusing on local produce, community & school gardens, folks who simply love delicious food grown with heart. Kids are welcome. Join us, and let’s unite our missions!
Tickets are free with suggested donation; registration required.
This event supports Nature Nurture Farmacy’s Project: Food Is Medicine.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply have access to an urban greenspace, you’re invited to explore the impact of noxious weeds on the environment and discover beneficial ornamental alternatives. Join us for this enlightening presentation, brought to you by the Lewis County Master Gardeners and the Lewis County Noxious Weed Control Board. Stick around afterward for a Q&A session.

Join us at China Creek to celebrate our earth by caring for this important salmon habitat! We will be picking up garbage, removing invasive weeds, planting native plants and mulching with compost. Hear from the Lewis County and Centralia Stream Teams, Lewis County Noxious Weed Board, Centralia Clean Team and the City of Centralia on topics like composting, stream restoration, community clean-ups and how YOU can get involved in local environmental stewardship. Fun for the whole family!
