Words by Stacey Igram Kaleh | Photo Courtesy of Messina HofAs we gather around holiday tables, diving into delicious meals and compelling conversations, perhaps indulging in a few favorite traditions and recounting memories of past seasons, I find myself wanting to make everything last a bit longer. The hustle of holiday gatherings, often brimming with anticipation and preparation, can sometimes feel like a blur. This season, I say let’s relish and recognize the beauty of it all.

Words and Photos by Shubhra RamineniThere’s a color that is currently trending with interior designers, looking to create bold, unexpected accents on walls, cabinets and trims. In the kitchen, that color is also a noteworthy winter vegetable: beets. As the welcome cooler weather arrives, I will be making room in my fridge for these beautiful, dark burgundy vegetables and a fermented drink made from them.

Words by Ava MotesAs the holiday season draws near, the spirit of giving is taking root in local nonprofit farms and community gardens. Beyond the crops they nurture, these organizations are sowing solutions to some of society's most pressing issues. Whether they’re addressing food insecurity, promoting nutrition through educational programs, or practicing regenerative agriculture, these farms are leading by example.

Words by Colin James SturdevantAs a child, nothing was more magical than visiting my grandparent’s farm in Blue, Texas, in December. We’d turn off the highway onto a rocky, pumpkin-orange road striated with streaks of red and beige. Cows would be hoofing along a creek. At night, we would build a bonfire in a grassy field where berries grew in the summer. Fireworks would climb the night air, and we’d roast hot dogs and make s’mores. My grandfather was a Renaissance man.
