Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you all have friends and/or family to celebrate this blessed holiday with. To me, this is the most wonderful holiday. Being Thankful. What a cleansing feeling. And a reminder to “stop and smell the roses” or taste the good food : )
I cannot express enough how thankful I am for this farm, this place. The community that helped me, literally, from the ground up. The opportunity I have to grow food. And for you, who are reading this note, supporters, friends, lovers of good food.
Enjoy your Holiday Feast, your Company and the Taste of Goodness.
Blessings on the meal, Keena
