At the cafeteria, breakfast is first come, first served from 10-11am. They have a very limited menu featuring granola bowls with yogurt, fruit puree, granola, and dried fruits. They also have soft boiled eggs, scones, muffins, coffee, and tea. Everything was fresh, hearty, and delicious. They also serve lunch in the cafeteria, but that requires a reservation. There is a Michelin starred restaurant on the property as well. The spacious grounds are a treat to walk. They rotate the location of the animals so it's a pleasant surprise to happen upon them. We saw goats, pigs, and cows. The pathways have gravel, but they were not super rough. We had two strollers with us and no issues pushing them along. We walked the short loop, but there are longer trails for those who want more. Very family friendly and peaceful for a stroll.

I came here for the tour and tray lunch on a Friday. I booked the 12pm tour with the tray lunch…read moreafter at 1pm. The tour was interesting but rather short and you don't fully see the whole farm. The bakery was probably the best part of the tour since you learn about their whole wheat baking and get to see the mill. The tour was a bit expensive so probably would skip the tour. The tray lunch was good though, the ingredients taste really fresh and you can tell nothing is processed. The farm was large and it was nice to walk around. The greenhouse, the livestock area, apiary, and vegetable field were all really nice to walk around. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

He was a driving force of bringing attention to Habitat for Humanity. I've been active in supporting in the past and I can say I've known many University of Notre Dame students that collected my donations. The students also deserve acknowledgment for their support volunteering to build the houses. I was amazed that you don't need experience. My daughter learned a lot of her DIY skills from volunteering with Habitat. They have my financial support and I hope you donate time or money. It's a great nonprofit organization!

Everything was going for me, and I felt buoyed by other nonprofit founders and entrepreneurial colleagues. My only drawback was severe imposter syndrome. Thoughts like "why do I think I can do this?", "what makes me think I'm qualified?" kept me in doubt. David not only heard my words but read my delivery and body language to help me dig into my discomfort and move through it. The sessions were challenging, thoughtful, and results driven. I can't recommend David highly enough.

He is incredibly empathetic and caring while offering different points of view alongside practical tools for measurable success. I can't recommend David enough as a partner for change and progress.

I found Veterans Rebuilding Life (VRL) on Google and its been an amazing experience. They are very respectful and understand the trials of a military veteran in regards to the time consuming process of applying for Veterans Affairs (VA) resources and services. I was able to get some emergency food, clean clothes, socks, hygiene products as well as opportunity to work gigs to make money through Veterans Rebuilding Life (VRL) non-profit's huge list of supporters. I feel blessed to have stumbled on this non-profit that really does what they say to change the narrative of how veterans are being treated in this country. If your a person who's interested in donating to a non-profit that really gets to the root of the problem and provides a solution think of VeteransRebuildingLife.org they can use your donations to help more veterans like myself get on their feet. Thank you so much VRL!

I am not really go in to detail about what they do, because you can see all of that information on their website, but I will give brief info. The Bronx Defenders is a non-profit organization that provide a service in defending people's cases...basically like lawyers/ attorneys. They help represent people who cannot afford the services of lawyers. I can tell you that the individuals that work here do 100% care about what they do. I remember doing my intern in the summer of 2008, where I several other interns, and a few of the Bronx Defenders went to several communities and interviewed tenants in those neighborhoods. At the end we presented our findings to the people at the Bronx Defenders. It was a great experience overall, because we all met different people, as well as learned about their stories. I have to admit, some of the people that we met in the communities were a bit crazy, but interesting to no limit. Some people invited us into their house, which was a bit scary to do, because I did not know them, and they did not know us. I don't know if they were skeptical of us or not, but to invite us in their house...I would never do that - no way possible..lol. Great experiences.
