I wanted to host the recent harvest dinner for about 30 people. As on my own, with one oven that’s about my capacity to feed people. And I did it (with of course lots of people bringing additional dishes to share). 30 + of the best people gathered around the table to share farm raised and local food.
I wanted to host at the farm despite things being not perfect. A construction site from the silo demolition. A barn that’s basically a hoarders paradise 🫣😅 Piles of things, equipment etc. that need to find homes.
That all didn’t matter. I just wanted to carve out a nice space on the farm and bring people around a table to share food and laughs.
It couldn’t have been more perfect.
And if you didn’t get an invite it’s because I can only do so much alone. I wanted to invite everyone.
But offers to help have poured in. Saying next year we can do this and this…
This is the start to an annual event.
At first Nathan did not get the vision. It was a bit of a struggle to have things moved so the space was as inviting as possible. He’s got things on the go. Understandable.
He’s fully on board now and said “wow I couldn’t do this and it’s so important.” There’s so many things he does that I can’t do. Finding a compromise in the midst of a busy stressful year - it’s a big win. ❤️ he’s the best.
So next year, a longer table, a second oven, delegating some tasks. Likely a goat curry over the fire. If you know you know.
I won’t go on and on about the state of the world but ya…..
This is needed. More than ever.
If I can do it for 30 I can do it for 130. (maybe just 60 next year 🫣)
So let’s share some food and love in 2027. ❤️
