Because of rain, we moved inside the Dry Creek Ranch House for the meeting. A tad crowded but it all worked out.
The guest speaker was Maceo Hart-Kapic. When RLEHS first met him two years ago, he was a junior in high school and managing a farm of about 2 acres at Gibson Ranch as a high school project. Currently Maceo is a freshman at UCBerkeley, living in the dorms, and coming home a couple of weekends every month to keep an eye on his 23-acre farm. His mother, interns and volunteers work the rest of the time to keep things going. 
Maceo estimates he’s met about 150 people at school so far – just 2 have ever been on a farm. “They just don’t get it,” he said. The Throwdown key ingredient was pumpkin. I won with Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
