Welcome to Snake River Music Gardens Spring 2025!


In Spring, 2025, we are focusing on land. Land is the most important thing to the people!
Here in Baker County in Eastern Oregon we are gardening (see picture of Roma tomato seedlings above!) and publicizing Make America Healthy Again Farms and Ranches. Art Sappington is writing papers to provide statutory guidance for the US Forest Service and other agencies in the difficult early months of the Trump administration transition.
In Uganda, we are working to purchase land for orphan self-reliance, and we are coordinating with the Foundation for Orphans, www.f4o.org, the work of Wayne Lavender, founder, and Zoe Empowers, https://zoeempowers.org/.
Zoe Empowers writes, "Once enrolled, our indigenous staff organize participants into mutual care groups of 60-100 children and youth. For orphaned and isolated youth, the group becomes an extended family. Over three years, groups receive micro-grants and training to achieve sustainable success and well-being across every area of life." Hundreds of thousands of orphans have already been empowered by this excellent program.

His Grace Children's Home teaches young students. The children value literacy and work diligently.

Our equation is Natural Resources plus Culture equals Economy.
