Meet LandPaths - Sharing Our Love Of Nature Every Step Of The Way

Every Thursday in August, Fork Catering (along with a few others) have food trucks placed at O’Reilly Media’s parking lot in Sebastopol from 11:30 - 2:30 PM. 10% of the proceeds from the food sales go to a different non-profit organization. LandPaths has been chosen to be the lucky recipient each Thursday during the month of August.  Each Thursday, we’ll put the donations toward a different program:

Thursday, August 4^th - The Grove of Old Trees;

Thursday, August 11^th - Bayer Farm

Thursday, August 18^th – IooBY

Thursday, August 25^th – Willow Creek
