Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

| Ready for the Thanksgiving feast. |
At Better Farm, we're blessed on a regular basis with new faces; people from all walks of life and all over the world who are interested in living closer to the earth, expanding their horizons, and honing their crafts. All these different energies and perspectives are best witnessed during family dinners at the farm. We gather together: interns and artists and students, locals who grew up in and around Redwood, people from California and New York and Singapore and Kenya. We all sit down and tell our stories. We ask questions and debate and imagine. To celebrate such diversity of ideas and peopleness, we hosted a small-ish community dinner party Saturday. Here's what we had (e-mail us for recipes!):
