Last nite was the Green Feast in San Juan Capistrano, it was a benefit to raise funds for The Ecology Center. What a Place! The vision these folks have is Amazing! Check out their website and you'll get an idea of what they are all about. It was a real honor to donate and participate. There were almost 200 people at 1 table discussing sutainability, giving examples of how each farmer or rancher accomplishes this, and fielding some of the most intelligent questions I have heard in a long time. The food and drink were wonderfully prepared and it was a truly lifestyle affirming nite. I wish every community had a place like this to go and learn about agriculture, sustainable practices, stewardship and the reasons we in this industry do what we do. Evan is one of my heroes and anything they need or decide to do I'm there! It's 22miles from my place as the crow flys, a little farther by road and a vision worth supporting. We are moving forward with our teaching center here and with The Ecology Center as a model and their staff as mentors we are going to really be able to help people learn about their food, where it comes from and how to get it to your plate in the safest, healthiest, and most natural way possible. It shows me that all the work we've done getting and keeping Certifications that prove the quality of our product were not a waste of time. It is a shame that we have to do this but it protects our customers and brings people like those at The Ecolology center in to our world and gives us opportunity to keep making a positive difference.
