Thursday June 25. Idyllic group of farm guests on a beautiful and calm upcountry day. There were 13 people total, all first timers. Leslie Gandy had a husband and two pre teen boys who begrudgingly came along, yet, after discovering a wild clutch of Francolin Quail eggs, along with some wild chicken eggs, and handling a Jackson chameleon or two, this family was in heaven. All the guests were very interested in our operation and we made an extra special effort to accommodate this sweet and lovely group, allowing them to pick and eat anything they like- and this time of the year that includes lemon cuxs, haricot verts, heirloom tomatoes, sorrel, leeks, Maui onion, and various fruits. There was a honeymoon couple (the Barretts) and an anniversary (John and Emily Davignon- who have a winery in Carlton, the Willamette, and grew up on an organic farm), as well as a pair of twins birthday (Gifford), so there was a celebratory mood amongst the group- and they all reveled in each others company at the absolute best table on Maui. Right after everyone left, it started raining, which was a blessing!
