One DSA winner was missing

Co-winners of Outstanding Young Farmer grow family and produce on community-supported farm

May 9, 2013

(Jeb Bladine/N-R Editor) One of the seven McMinnville Distinguished Service Award winners was unable to attend this week's dinner after injuring her back a few days before the event (better now). Sheila Jaillet was co-winner of the Outstanding Young Farmer award with her husband, Andre.

We found Sheila on the website of their community-supported Growing Wild Farm, where her welcome to readers is brief and inviting, while her blog posts are longer, descriptive and heart-felt. The website welcome:

"This is where i capture the thoughts inside, and the images outside, that make up this life, on this farm. We are a family of happy people and we have mostly happy stories to share; living here -- growing food and community -- enables us to keep growing ourselves, and for that we are grateful. Thank you for looking in on us."
