Story & Experience
We live in the heart of a foie gras region. We are celebrating the summer solstice in our medicine wheel, by building a duck out of wood and feathers to celebrate the lives of the ducks who suffer through this barbaric process.
Our event was a great success. As well as compassion for the ducks, we sent our thoughts to the damaged earth in our region following the devastating floods in the Pyrenees earlier this week, including the flooding of the Holy Shrine at Lourdes.
