this Sunday!

Dear Abundant Ones,
We had our Harvest Abundance dinner at Oakleaf restaurant on July 14th benefitting Chatham Mills Farmers' Market and The Abundance Foundation.
It was a packed house with fantastic music from the Bucket Brothers and the Ragweed Brothers, incredible local food and desserts from Oakleaf, and a rip-roaring live auction thanks to Tucker and MacKenzie Withington, our outstanding auctioneers!
HUGE THANKS to our raffle donors, to talented Oakleaf restaurant staff and Brendan and Leslie Cox, to the bands, to our volunteers, and ALL OF YOU who came out to celebrate and contribute to our fantastic community of artists, farmers, singers, eaters, and cultivators of all kinds. You are the reason we're here!
