“We don’t use pesticides on
the farm so we can walk through the fields and hear the buzzing of bees,” said
co-owner Diane Cordeau during a 20-minute farm tour.

A buffet style
table sat at the back of a large tented seating area. It was decked out with large bowls of vegetarian dishes to go with the
roasted pork. A generous helping of strawberry shortcake and vegan peanut butter cup, created by Veggie Love Food Truck, finished off the meal.

After all had filled their
bellies, co-owner Carl Frost thanked everyone for driving out to his farm, ”We
feel like pioneers out here.”
Later, Jennifer Sacket,
dinner coordinator at Kai Kai Farm, said, “I am a vegan vegetarian and so it is
nice to have a sustainable amount of vegetarian food like we had tonight.”
Sacket added that there will
be more events on the farm in the near future.
