Giving Thanks

On Thanksgiving Day I give thanks to all the farmers and their families and the farmworkers for growing the beautiful food that keeps me healthy.

Every week at the Hollywood Farmers Market I look in amazement at the piles of fresh organic fruit and vegetables, and I place my dollars with gratitude in the dirt-grimed hands of the farmers who grew them.

Thank you Jorge and Jared; Finley Farms and St. Benoit yogurt makers; Mr. Ha; James at Flora Bella; the growers of almonds, walnuts and pistachios; the South Central Farmers Cooperative; and Tutti Frutti.

Your hard work helps keep us healthy and strong.

We will raise a glass to you at our Thanksgiving table, as we enjoy the food you raised from the earth.
