Right Under Our Noses

Last Saturday, my family had the pleasure of enjoying a 5-year-old's birthday party. The really great thing about this party is that it was hosted by Restoration Farms, a surprisingly close haven for organic living and animal rescue. The owner sells organic produce out of her garage, raises chickens, and lives with rescued dogs, cats, and horses. We had a bountiful organic lunch of soup, salads, fresh bread, fruits, and veggies. We met the chickens, and the kids were given pony rides. I'm amazed more and more at how many organic operations there are right here in this busy, sprawling, corporate-driven town. Right under our noses we're given glimpses of sustainable living, given the opportunity to help support it, and given the inspiration to live such lives ourselves.
