“We kind of tied it all together and made this
amazing company that sort of offers a little bit of ev-
erything,” says Warren.
The three women have formed a friendship
around three of their children who are all in the same
grade together at school. “One of the reasons this
works so well is that all our schedules are the same. So
we can cover for each other – one of us can pick up all
the kids while the others
are working,” explains
Riddell.

the company will travel
within a thirty mile ra-
dius to cater events. She
says eventually The Farm
Table will offer drop-off
trays of food for com-
pany functions as well as
“dinners ready” and date
night packages. “We’re
going to slowly open up
into a lot of things,” says
Warren.
Business is already starting to take off.
Warren says they already had some clients
for Mother’s Day and have five parties in-
terested in weddings at the farm this sum-
mer. They made a big impression at their
first event when they served hors d’oeuvres,
cookies and specialty cupcakes at Kala Co-

Kala Cota Book Signing
Friends and supporters showed up at the Vernonia
Library on May 7 to purchase signed copies of Chicken
Soup for the Soul: Living with Alzheimers’s & Other
Dementias. Cota’s poem “Rewind” is published in the
new book. Cota’s poem is about spending time with her
mother who is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease.
The 101 stories in the book act as a portable support
group for anyone caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s
or other forms of dementia, covering the entire journey-
from diagnosis through end of life.
Cota’s book signing was a fundraiser for the
Vernonia Library and will help fund a Memory Garden
at the Library in honor of Cota’s mother. Cota was
surrounded by family and friends at the event. The event
was a big success; the book sold out and more copies are
being ordered by the Vernonia Library.
