Gathering around the table looks different for every event - but the intention is always the same. 🌿 For @generation.we you.me.WE. At The Table event, it was about connection, inclusion, and creating a space where everyone felt seen and celebrated. From a stunning farm setting to a shared meal rooted in local ingredients, every detail was designed to bring people together in support of a more inclusive future. We’re honored to have played a small part in an evening that raised over $100K for Generation WE’s mission - proof of what’s possible when community shows up for community. 💛 If you’re planning a gathering rooted in purpose, we’d love to be part of your table!

BOOK FEATURE! Depression impacts all types of people — parents too! And how confusing that might be for a child… watching their loved one behave in ways unfamiliar to them. This gentle, hopeful book will help kids cope with a parent’s mental illness, which helps de-stigmatize and normalize something that is so very common. ENJOY & SHARE!

Our annual you.me.WE. At The Table event was an incredible success—thank you to everyone who made it so special! The stunning barn setting at Pleasant Grove Farm, complete with rescue horses and twinkling string lights, set the tone for an intimate gathering. Each element was thoughtfully designed to connect and inspire our guests. The hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind centerpieces by @gildedevent and @k.interiors.studio and the unforgettable five-star meal by @chefsamdiminich and the Your Farms Your Table team elevated the evening into a perfectly unique experience. Every detail reflected the Generation WE mission of connection and celebration of ALL—from the handmade bookmarks on each place setting to the hand-painted canvas on stage, both created by Generation WE youth—creating a space for genuine gathering and community. And, wow, you all showed up in your farm chic finest, bringing so much love and joy with you. Together, we raised over $100,000—our largest fundraiser to date! We are beyond grateful and inspired by what we can accomplish together to create a more inclusive future for our kids. 💛 A special thank you to our luxury raffle donors! @jodycandrian @danielgonzalez.studio @toska_europeanspa @taborclt Thank you @laurenbolshakov for your beautiful art for invitations and signage. Thank you to @southsidewatt for keeping the music flowing and the vibes high. Thank you @billow.media for creating a brand video that received a STANDING OVATION and for the beautiful photographs!

BOOK FEATURE! A tall tale inspired by the life and works of writer, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston Small-girl Zora knows her stories are going to change the world. Although her neighbors might not believe her outlandish tales, she’s sure they’re the key to ending the drought in her town. If she can make people laugh at her stories, she’ll be able to gather enough tears to bring back her mama’s garden and more. But when things don’t go exactly as planned, Zora learns that with creativity, determination, and faith, a little magic might be possible. ENJOY & SHARE!

BOOK FEATURE! Hudson Talbott’s inspiring story vividly reveals the challenges—and ultimately the rewards—of being a non-mainstream kind of learner. When Hudson Talbott was a little boy, he loved drawing, and it came naturally to him. But reading? No way! One at a time, words weren’t a problem, but long sentences were a struggle. As his friends moved on to thicker books, he kept his slow reading a secret. But that got harder every year. He felt alone, lost, and afraid in a world of too many words. Fortunately, his love of stories wouldn’t let him give up. He started giving himself permission to read at his own pace, using the words he knew as stepping-stones to help draw him into a story. And he found he wasn’t so alone—in fact, lots of brilliant people were slow readers, too. ENJOY & SHARE!

BOOK FEATURE! A moving picture book about an anxious girl who can talk to birds but finds it hard to talk to people. When a new boy at school connects with trees the way she does with birds, they begin to form a friendship. ENJOY & SHARE!
