Oregon’s distinct merroir. A literary guide to the West. Making the perfect French omelet. High School students in a groundbreaking farm to school program learning to raise, butcher, and cook the whole hog. Urban beekeeping and rooftop honey. A thriving garden and how it nourishes Portland’s tribal community. How to shuck an oyster. Newport’s Dungeness Crabbing Season. The top farm stays in Oregon. FFA: Agriculture’s Bright Future. How two Oregon nonprofits help to build community by providing safe and affordable in-town housing for farmworkers. Horsepower in the vineyard. A remote hike-in lodge in the sprawling Eagle Cap Wilderness.

These are just a few of the topics I’ve covered over the past decade as a freelance writer. I most frequently cover stories that explore the people and places behind what we eat and drink with a healthy dose of travel-related features mixed in. I pursue topics I’m curious about and I’m especially drawn to opportunities to learn something new.

While I’ve lived in Germany, England, and British Columbia, I currently call Portland, Oregon home. An avid explorer of this wild and wonderful state, you can read about adventurous places to visit and the inspiring people that make this state special (from beekeepers and bakers, to oyster farmers and winemakers) that I’ve profiled for Travel Oregon.

Occasionally, I explore the politics of food from programs that provide healthcare for migrant farm workers to tribal programs raising buffalo to restore native food sources. Below you’ll find a selection of some of my work.

A trailblazer first in business and now through art, Duncan Berry uses gyotaku, the Japanese folk art, to illuminate science and create deeper connections to marine life. 

You can find his work along the coast @cannerypierhotel @stephanieinn @oregoncoastaquarium and @riverseagalleryastoria. 

This dream project was brought to life with photography and video by @ejdvisuals and editor extraordinaire @jenniferburnsbright. ✨

Thanks also to @byland_bysea_byair for opening his home studio to us one blustery afternoon this winter.

There are so many inspiring things I wanted to add There are so many inspiring things I wanted to add to this @thetinyfishco profile. 🐠 But, word count. A few that really stuck with me after our chat: 

•Sara Hauman is so thoughtful about what she cans for Tiny Fish Co., focusing only on abundant species and bycatch like her rockfish in sweet soy sauce. 

•Her fabulous fun packaging stems from her childhood memories of trips down the snack aisle @mitsuwa_marketplace. 

•With her business so intricately tied to local fishing boats—and recognizing the risk fishers take with each trip out to sea— she started an annual donation to the Newport Fisherman’s Wives.

With the prettiest Tortilla Española.

The treehouses @skamanialodge are by far one of th The treehouses @skamanialodge are by far one of the best places I’ve stayed in the Pacific Northwest. 🌲🌲🌲

Decadently spacious with abundant windows, no matter where you turn, you feel immersed in the grove of surrounding Douglas fir trees. 

Thoughtful perks include private fire pits, s’mores kits, an inside-outside gas fireplace, and expansive decks that stretch forty feet high. It’s a dream getaway. 

Read all about it in the March/April issue of @1859oregon, on newsstands now. 

P.S. Heated floors in the spa-like bathrooms!
