Mahonia Gardens
Through eight growing seasons, Mahonia Gardens in Sisters has produced quality vegetables and greens for the local Central Oregon market. Now, local buyers can access their produce at a farm stand located downtown near the corner of Adams Avenue and Spruce Street. Carys Wilkins and Benji Nagel opened the stand in May. “We’re going to have our own food, but we’re also going to bring in a little food from other farms,” Carys says. The stand is offering salad, arugula, spinach, various kinds of radishes, salad turnips — all on a self-serve basis. Recent events have brought into sharp focus the value of locally-grown foodstuffs. “It seems that now, more than ever, people are realizing how important it is to support their friends and neighbors and the local business people,” Benji said.

She offers private sessions and classes for men, women, and co-ed. Her women-only classes are often the most comfortable for women, especially first-time gun owners. It’s hands-on training, suitable for people of all ages and all walks of life. Her youngest client was 18; her oldest was 84. Live fire training is conducted at Redmond Rod and Gun Club. Classes are engaging, safe, comfortable — and empowering — especially for women to gain more confidence in the protection of self and loved ones.
Painted Lady Antiques
Marla and Kent Stevens opened Painted Lady Antiques last summer with the goal to be an uncluttered, reasonably priced shop that people want to return to again and again. They’ve succeeded. Painted Lady Antiques is celebrating their one-year anniversary in a space that has grown from 1,200 to 2,300-square-feet, with open architecture that allows easy perusal of an eclectic array of goods from carefully-selected vendors. Kent is skilled at making tables, entryway benches and hall tables, and Marla is a whiz at refinishing pieces that come in looking a bit worse for wear or are dated. From painted furniture to iron work to Western wear to tools, there’s something for everyone — and it turns over swiftly, rewarding return visits. The one-of-a-kind inventory changes daily and sells quickly, so if you find a treasure you can’t live without, buy it today. Chances are it will be gone tomorrow.

In winter, they provide snowremoval services. 4 Brothers is well-equipped to handle any tree service job. That helps ensure that work is done in the most efficient and costeffective manner possible. Now is the time to assess the condition of your trees. 4 Brothers Tree Service is ready to help.
Environmental Center
Food waste is costly — to your grocery budget and to the environment. A whopping 26 percent of Knott Landfill’s capacity is taken up with wasted food. The Environmental Center in Bend has created an online challenge through Rethink Waste Deschutes County at www.RethinkWasteProject.org/FoodWaste to help folks in Sisters Country reduce their food waste. The challenge offers all kinds of tips and resources — including simple ones like reorganizing the refrigerator and meal-planning — to backyard composting. Anyone can turn food into nutrients for plants through composting, even without a yard. Just paying attention goes a long way toward reduction of food waste. Ani Kasch offers free in-person and online presentations on reducing food waste tailored to the particular needs and interests of any local group.

Sisters Rental opens expansive new facility When Pat Thompson and his partners purchased Sisters Rental in 2007, they also purchased a lot along Barclay Drive at the corner of Pine Street in the Sisters Industrial Park. The plan was to build a purposefully designed new shop and showroom to replace the small facility the business had operated out of since the early 1990s. The economic downturn that struck hard shortly thereafter put those plans on hold for more than a decade — but now they’ve come to fruition. Sisters Rental opened its new 6,400-square-foot steel facility built by Kevin Spencer last week, and Thompson — though very busy — is a happy man. “We’re really happy to be here; happy to reinvest back in the community of Sisters,” he said. “The whole idea was to build a space that works for the kind of business that we do — both retail and service.” The project was originally designed by the late Jerry

Efficiency is the name of the game at Sisters Rental’s brand-new 6,400-square-foot facility at the corner of Barclay Drive and Pine Street . The new steel building and expansive lot will allow the team to offer more rental equipment, in addition to more yard and home-improvement products and equipment — good news as Sisters County heads into the busy home-improvement season. The space is also much more efficient for mechanics and technicians, which will allow for quicker turnaround times for equipment maintenance and repair operations. Sisters Rental is a regional headquarters for contractors and homeowners alike, who need quality, well-maintained equipment at fair prices with excellent service to back it all up. The new facility will allow the team to improve on that reputation. Sisters Rental has also launched a new website at www.sistersrental.com showcasing the product lines they carry and rental offerings. Check it out! Sisters Rental is observing COVID-safe protocols to provide service to the community.

Bogart, and updated and completed by Chris Mayes of Design Strategies. The parking lot was designed to coordinate with the neighbors to provide for safe one-way flow of trucks and trailers. The improvements that the new facility brings are evident. First of all, it’s highly visible. “People aren’t having a hard time finding us,” Thompson said with a grin. The purpose-built facility is “a lot more user-friendly space for the mechanics and technicians,” Thompson said. “We hope to carry more product, have quicker turnaround of repairs, have more rental equipment. Efficiency is the name of the game.” The old office, showroom, and shop space at the original location will be converted to storage space. Decomissioning the old space is the most burdensome aspect of the project right now. “We’ve got two decades of stuff to move over,” Thompson said. The economic crash of 2008 put the brakes on the original plans for the move,
