Local artist and Clark County Master Gardener Liz Pike is organizing the second annual community Easter egg hunt at her organic Shangri-La Farm in Fern Prairie on Sat., April 8.
The Port of Camas Washougal, Minuteman Press, ART FARM and Shangri-La Aviation are also co-sponsors of this country style Easter egg hunt. Visitors must park at Grove Field Airport, 632 NE 267th Avenue, just around the corner from Shangri-La Farm. Community volunteers will be driving the farm’s all-electric Sunflower Mobile; transporting attendees from the airport parking lot through the woods on a forest trail to the farm. The Easter Bunny will be on hand all morning to greet children and provide photo opportunities.
The Easter egg hunt is actually three events in one, separated by ages. There’s a Tots Egg Hunt for ages 0-4 at 10 a.m., followed by a Kids Egg Hunt for ages 5-8 at 10:30 a.m., and a Big Kids Hunt for children over 9 years of age at 11 a.m. on Sat., April 8.
“We are inviting our community to experience Spring on a farm,” says Pike. “There’s lots to see this time of year including the possibility of newborn lambs.”
While at the farm for Easter egg hunt festivities, Pike invites the public to tour the early Spring gardens and see happy chickens in action. Wander around raised vegetable beds and stroll the meandering trails through botanical flower gardens. See berry patches and fruit orchards along with Shangri-La Farm’s “e-crap station,” an environmentally conscious recycled animal poop composting system. There’s also a quaint farm stand open year round which sells farm fresh eggs laid by the farm’s free-range chickens, fresh baked goods, local honey from Shangri-La Farm honeybees, as well as organic fruits and vegetables during the season.
Activities at the farm are as diverse as the plant life. Pike has a working art studio, an exhibition art gallery and an instructional studio at the farm, where she teaches oil painting workshops. Her ART FARM Sip&Paint studio accommodates up to 12 students for scheduled classes. A complete schedule can be found at http://lizpike.art. Guests are invited to tour all of the art studios while attending the Easter egg hunt.

Shangri-La Farm has been part of the Clark County Natural Garden Tour in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022. This year’s Tour is slated for Sun., July 16. Liz and her husband Neil Cahoon established Shangri-La Farm in 2010.
“After 13 years of blood, sweat and tears, we enjoy sharing our farm with the public,” said Liz. “All year long, visitors stop in to purchase fresh items at our roadside farm stand. We invite them to tour the gardens and experience the changing beauty of the season.”
Liz and her husband understand the importance of fostering a local, sustainable food system.
“We realize people have food choices and we appreciate the support we receive from local families. This Easter egg hunt is one small way we can give back to the families who support our farm throughout the year,” she added.
