In every corner of Baker County, stories are waiting to be told. In our upcoming edition, we have stories from the sawmill born out of love, a saddle of Deputy Rufe Thrift and the echoes of the Baxter Rebellion, a prayer in a kitchen that launched a beloved bakery, to a sea-plane base right in the heart of a national forest.

This magazine is rooted in real lives... the kind shaped by long days, quiet grit, and deep community ties. We follow the threads of the past and present to share the moments that matter.

As the weather cools and the holidays draw near, take a moment to settle in and hear the voices of our community, shop among your neighbors by supporting local businesses, and cherish the past and present.

This is storytelling made local. This magazine is for YOU!

🧡 Fall/Winter issue coming soon.
