Salkum WA Potluck with Paul Wheaton! September 8th 2025

Potluck at Jared and Emily’s house!

156 Saw Mill Ln

If you are mapping it, sometimes using Onalaska WA works better. Saw Mill Ln is a private gravel road, first right turn after the bridge. We are the fourth house on the road. Red door. Park anywhere in the gravel in front of the house and across the road.

Starts at 5:30pm. We will have some main dishes. Bring a side dish if you like.

Looking forward to meeting and talking all things permaculture!

This is right by my work, Burnt Ridge Nursery.

I will be there with some sunchokes and walking onions.

Hi I would love to join this potluck and meet everyone! Thanks for the opportunity and excited to maybe get a sunchoke and walking onion.  I live nearby Salkum. I am in the south part of Chehalis.

Welcome to permies Teresa.

If I can't make either of the OR options on the 6th or 7th, I might end up at this one if possible, it all depends on when my husband has the day off to do that magical thing called driving.

What a lucky happenstance! It will be great to see you, Paul. It's on my calendar.

Looking forward to this potluck - let me know if anyone has any questions before heading out!

We were honored to host Paul and thank you to everyone who came out. It was great to see folks exchanging books, seeds, and creations. Keep an eye on the Cascadia page for more local events.

Big thank you to Paul for sharing his new book SKIP - Skills to Inherit Property. If you haven’t seen SKIP you’re missing out. Flip through its beautiful pages and be lulled into a existential inventory of your skills. Before you know it, you’ll be tackling that intimidating project you’ve been putting off (yeah, that one). If you know someone about to take on crippling college debt or a soul crushing career path, SKIP may be door #3. I simply slip it into their tea, but I've heard that handing it to them also works. (And they'd get to see how great it looks before consuming.)

Speaking of:

--> Paul is recruiting fresh boots! Why not live at Wheaton Labs and learn from the best? Enlist today and shanghai a friend! (With their permission of course.)

--> See Paul in his natural habitat. Visit Wheaton Labs and experience how luxurious Permaculture life can be as a sepper.


P.S. If you left anything here our kids probably already broke it. But we'd be happy to sweep up the pieces and mail them too you. DM me and we'll find a way to return what's left.
