It sure was a "chili" day out there today at the Stamford Nature Center! Though our delicious chili did not place this year in the competition, we had a fun day representing the farm with the only all vegetarian chili in the contest! We had a vegan family visit the competition, and we were able to serve them a lunch sized portion each, and we're so happy to have been able to do so! Chef Craig also put smiles on the faces of many young children (including mine!) by offering sample pieces of his honey-cornbread! One mother even came back to our table for seconds saying, "Is there any chance I can take another cup; my daughter NEVER eats vegetables, but she LOVES your chili!". After she walked away, Craig turned to me and said, "Win or Lose, that makes it all worth it". And it WAS worth it. The event raised enough money to buy 3000 pounds of food for the Foodbank, just in time for the holidays!!! Thank you to all WTF community members who came out to help serve or to support the farm! This farmer couldn't be any prouder.
