I revisited Tierra Soul Farm Guesthouse when I was in Portland a week ago. It’s really inspiring to see how it’s grown (and the kids too.) I wrote about it in Backyard Roots because I thought it was such a great idea for urban farmers. Krista and David have such an eye for rustic, cool stuff it’s worth checking out just for the ideas! They’ve added a 1969 Barth Caravan that you can stay in that sleeps three and comes with a kitchen and bathroom. She also offers retreats, classes and farmer/artist residences. Check it out on your next trip to Portland.
