Join Online ‘Know Your Islanders’ On Oak Knoll Farm

From San Juan Island Library

The San Juan Island Library will present a virtual Know Your Islanders event on Oak Knoll Farm and the Pope and Greene Family at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 17.

Sarah Pope returned home to San Juan Island in 2017 with her partner, Adam Greene, to raise their children and take over stewardship of a historic sheep farm.

Embarking on a steep but joyous learning curve to acquire skills like fence building and sheep midwifery along with knowledge of soil science, ruminant nutrition, and botanical dyeing, the family has also found nourishment in community connections.

Adam is a firefighter/EMT, Sarah manages the new San Juan Islands Food Hub, and the whole family helps coordinate firewood donations through the Family Resource Center. Bring your questions about sheep, wool, local food, and opportunities for service to island neighbors.

Email Genevieve Iverson [email protected] for a Zoom meeting invitation.

You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
