Would you eat chili prepared by this man?


Last Saturday we hosted a chili supper for the Gateway EPC Worship Ministry Teams at the farm. It’s the first time we’ve ever prepared 10 gallons of chili in one batch. I say that it wasn’t ‘quite’ as good as our usual small batches, but it was still really yummy. I think it’s safe to say that a good time was enjoyed by all. It also gave me the opportunity to reflect on something a friend told me recently. “A community places it in context”. He wasn’t talking about a chili supper, but it still fits whether it’s a national election, a community celebration, or raising a child. Fall is the perfect time to come together on the farm. As the growing season comes to an end and many plants prepare to go to sleep for the winter, it’s the perfect time to kindle new friendships and rekindle existing ones. Here’s to relationships!
