It is an incredible day and an epic weekend in the Garden of Eden, and we are giving thanks for more than enough of everything in this abundant life of freedom!
We celebrated 
We're really great at party prep, and it's a fun variation from our day to day routines. We happily come together to clean and prepare our space, set up lighting, run sound, assemble party favors, do costuming, and make a fabulous spread.
As with all of our projects, we stay focused until the job is done! This means that rather than take time to prepare our daily sustainable dinner spread for our full time volunteers, we enjoyed light snacks to fuel us through party set up.
For today's sustainable feast post, we want to share some of the creative sandwiches we created from our pre-party snack table!
We have tons of food, which is just one reason we LOVE to share it!! We set out meats, cheeses, veggies, spreads, dips, condiments, pickles, and breads and let everyone go to town putting together something they loved.
This sandwich has uncured pastrami, hummus, lettuce, and homemade kimchi on whole wheat bread.
This is a flour tortilla smeared with pesto, with a hard boiled egg, white cheddar cheese, sliced peppers, and sun dried tomatoes with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
This sandwich has roast beef, swiss, whole grain mustard, tomatoes, sliced onions, and lettuce on gluten free wheat bread with a side of jalapeño potato chips.
This sandwich has sautéed onions, mushrooms, peppers, and squash with orange cherry tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, and mayo on whole grain bread with salt & pepper potato chips.
It was a simple meal, and it gave us plenty of fuel to get through party prep! Stay tuned, because we're sharing the party spread in an upcoming post!
Food is important, and we hope to inspire people to really take time to eat, enjoy it, and share it with someone you love. We also hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in regards to food!
We do all of our cooking over fire, using wood that was otherwise destined to end up in a landfill! This is our indoor wood burning stove in action - it cooks our food, warms our communal space, and heats water for hot showers all at the same time!
Food is an honored & elemental part of our daily life in community. You can learn more about our unique, intimate, and super sustainable relationship with food here!
Photos are original to our epic feast and highlight just a taste of the thousands upon thousands of free meals we share every single year.
We are happy & grateful to share our abundance - there's more than enough of everything! If you or anyone you know wants or needs food, contact us - we will give you free food, no questions asked. We make this offer every single day, because we are here to help one and all.
Because we stand in support of the greatest good & especially the revolutionary potential of this platform, we've never cashed out any $teem or even powered down - which is good for everyone! This means that when you upvote our posts, you are increasing the value of your own $teem wealth as well!
Do you believe our efforts are valuable and beneficial for the world?
Can you match our annual contributions of feeding 40,000, saving 350,000 pounds of trash from the landfill, achieving a negative carbon footprint, providing a safe space for families and children to thrive, and educating hundreds of thousands of people for free?? If you don't have the time or manpower to change the world in this way, then consider sharing your resources so we can do the work for you!
