Empty Bowl...it sounds so sad, but it was a celebration! As Waltham Fields Community Farm members, we were able to attend a fund raiser this summer: we each purchased a handmade soup bowl (thrown by one of the farmers), which we filled with soup made by area restaurants from farm ingredients. 
Catherine and Andrew eagerly await the soup!Susan, Tim, Andrew, and I opened a bottle of red wine, sampled soup, and enjoyed meeting fellow shareholders. It was a perfect evening in the late summer sunshine, and we ate dinner at the edge of the fields that brought us all of our summer produce! Seems to me it was money well spent, and reminded me that belonging to this farm doesn't just mean getting veggies - but joining a community, supporting hard work, and nourishing ourselves in lots of ways.
WFCF shareholders gather for the Empty Bowls Dinner - can you spot Sue, Tim, and Andrew?
I could not find them, but I did find Waldo. And I think you did guess the secret identity of xxxtra tuff.
