My experience has been that there are plenty of dishes prepared that are veggies, greens, rice and other items that would feed vegans, LF and GF folk. We also encourage attendees to help out with meal preparation too. Colleen, the menu for the meals can vary from the actual workshops.

Your menus will be an issue, my daughter and I are allergic to gluten & dairy, we can tolerate goat products. All of your meals sound like my husband and other child will be in heaven. GF LF free folks will be hungry. Hi, This sounds like a great event for our family. Your menus will be an issue, my daughter and I are allergic to gluten & dairy, we can tolerate goat products.

You can pay for Thursday ala carte, so $10 for the workshop per adult... I'd suggest you send one parent to the workshop and have the other do childcare. Children are definitely welcome and there will be workshops specifically for kids... there will be plenty of kids around for them to play and explore with as well. We ask $10/day per child. I realize $80/day for a family of 5 might seem high, but we are willing to discuss a budget and perhaps food trade to make it work for you... and remember, meals and camping are included. We do school tours and can work with you to fit the tour and learning to your curriculum. Also, FYI, we have several families and friends in the Valley who get together for regular potluck dinners... you might enjoy the fellowship. Hello Jennifer,

We bought 32 acres and I have a great desire for our family to be self-sustaining. We are just beginning and are seeking out mentors. My husband sent me the link for this years food for life gathering. We are really excited about the opportunity of attending. We have three boys, 8,6,5yrs. I would like to bring as we prefer to live life as a family affair. I have two quick questions as I am trying to schedule/budget it in. First are the children welcome? Second is Thursday full price? Thank you for your time as well as sharing your talents and offering such a valued experience. We look forward to meeting you soon. Warm Regards, Jennifer P.S. We homeschool and belong to a homeschool group of 70+ families. I am not sure of the general desire of the group as we are new however, I thought I would ask about the potential opportunity for a "fieldtrip". Hello,
