Matt Szechenyi runs this ecological farm along with his family.

"This type of event connects us to a lot of enthusiastic people that we can form relationships with in the future. And this type of small farm business thrives on relationships,” said Szechenyi.

“The food has been absolutely wonderful. I totally appreciate the hard work because now you see everything they have to do to take care of the animals and make sure they are well cared for," she said.

Alex Bogel came with his family.
