Hello, I'm Wendy Hering, a Washington native who has lived in Oregon for the past 35 years. As an urban farmer, I help transform front yards into small, productive farms throughout Portland, embracing an organic and natural lifestyle. My passion for arts and crafts blends seamlessly with my love for journalism, where I strive to share stories that inspire and educate. As a proud lesbian and advocate for LGBTQ+ pride, I cherish Portland's accepting culture and the community's lack of judgment towards my partner and me. Walking around this beautiful city and state, I appreciate the freedom to live openly and authentically, celebrating the unique diversity that makes Portland so special. KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD AND BEAUTIFUL!
