June Potluck Highlights: Tomatoes, Community, and Courage with Glen Sawyer

Our June potluck was a heartfelt and memorable event, highlighted by a special visit from Glen Sawyer, a dedicated local farmer with a passion for growing organic heirloom tomatoes. Glen brought a generous basket of freshly picked tomatoes, each one more vibrant and flavourful than the last. He cut several for the group to sample, and unsurprisingly, every last slice was enjoyed!

​

Glen also shared his personal story of becoming a farmer, offering insight into the challenges and rewards of growing food in the desert. His passion for sustainable agriculture and his connection to the land were truly inspiring. But Glen’s visit wasn’t just about tomatoes, it was also deeply personal. He shared that his daughter-in-law has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he is currently sharing his produce in exchange for donations to help support their family during this incredibly difficult time.
