“It is no secret that food brings people together. Just preparing and enjoying it forges friendships and strengthens bonds. When we sit together at a table or around the campfire, listening to stories and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, and the stars, the power of nature proves it’s stronger than us as individuals. It is that feeling that we want to bring and share”
