We get happier and healthier every day in the Garden of Eden!

It is truly profound to be able to invest all of our time in doing things we love with the people we care about, and it is even more incredible to share this reality that is accessible to all! Life is beautiful, and we're giving thanks.

A really great way to express gratitude and honor abundance is by sharing meals. It is standard that we prepare a daily dinner for everyone. We usually offer salad, veggies, sandwiches, and/or leftovers for lunch as well, depending on how many people are here and what our day's projects look like, although it is sometimes up to each individual to choose whatever they want for themselves whenever it fits in their flow. Often if someone is preparing breakfast for themselves of smoothies or sometimes eggs or the rarer pancakes, they will also offer to make enough for everyone who is around and wants some breakfast too. Sharing is caring! 

Our communal dinners are a great time for us to come together and rejoice in our accomplishments at the end of the day. We don't have any rules that people have to eat together or that anyone has to eat what we prepare, but it is more efficient and it's just plain nice to share a prepared meal in enjoyable company, and so that's what most people choose to do here. Some of our volunteers are on completely opposite schedules, so dinner for one person is sometimes breakfast for another. 

It's a pleasure to share these feasts with you too! For today's main shared meal, we had a wonderful veggie soup, a bright garden salad, and some farm fresh fried eggs. 

We made a big pot of one of our favorite veggie soups with lots of onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, squash, and fresh garden herbs. Of course we do all of our cooking over fire using our hand built earthen rocket stoves. 

We chopped up a classic veggie salad with beautiful red onions, colorful bell peppers, juicy red tomatoes, and crispy cucumbers. This salad is dressed very simply with a little bit of olive oil and some homemade strawberry vinegar! 

We served the mixed veggie salad over a bed of fresh garden greens. 

It was totally delicious topped with some spicy tahini and homemade kimchi!! 

We hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in  regards to food as well as encourage everyone to take care of each other  and share the abundance! 

Food is an honored & elemental part of our daily life in community. You can learn more about our unique, intimate, and super sustainable relationship with food here, and we'll continue to share our daily mouthgasms!
