We had such a nice time welcoming our families and close friends to the Village for our Family Day gathering in October. We celebrated anniversaries and milestones, learned about how our farmers are transforming conventionally farmed land in Copake to fertile biodynamic soil; enjoyed photos of an exciting New England whale watching expedition and dreamy Cape Cod sunsets. Some escaped the rain in Fountain Hall after lunch, and Liri and Ilan performed awesome live music for us while we played corn hole and Sarit gave us henna tattoos. Many thanks to our presenters, and to MCs Finot and Matthias!
