The Together Place

03/05/2026

Well, friends… it’s time. 💛

The Together Place was a short but meaningful experiment, and our chapter is coming to a close. Our location will soon be the new home of Burgess Bakehouse, and we can’t wait to support them as they expand to their delicious storefront adventure!

Thank you for believing in us, showing up, and helping us try new things. The heart of a small town is the people who keep trying, even when plans shift. The Tasty Plate will continue on via their adorable food truck, Sweet Pea!

This page will move to the archives soon, but this isn’t goodbye forever. Just see you soon, somewhere in town. 🤍🏡

Before I tuck this page away, feel free to follow my main page at Jennifer Hynes Skopecek to stay connected! Craft adventures will be organized via The Feral Crafter & book club/chats at La Literati. Also available for social media support, websites, & graphics creation! 😎💜✌🏼

Peace be with you all as you continue to do life Together! 💛

First book club in our newly refreshed space is Sunday! 📚 🦖 🦕

📚🦖 La Literati Book Club Reminder! 🦖📚

Our first book club meeting of 2026 is this Sunday at 4:30 PM, and we are so excited to discuss Raptor Red!

We absolutely loved this book, and I cannot wait to hear what everyone thought. 💛

Who all is planning to attend?
I know a few of you are on vacation, but I also created an Eventbrite to help spread the word, so we may have some new readers joining us too. 🎉

Raptor Red is such a unique read because it tells the story from the perspective of a female Utahraptor. It’s vivid, emotional, immersive, and surprisingly thoughtful. It blends prehistoric science with storytelling in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there in her world.

If you’ve read it, come chat with us.
If you haven’t finished, come anyway and join the fun!🥰

On a day dedicated to celebrating love, we’re especially grateful to share ours with this incredible community. Thank you for showing up, supporting us, and helping make our opening day such a joyful, love-filled success! 🥰

As our new mission begins, we can’t think of a better word to guide The Together Place than love — love for good food, for gathering, for creativity, and for each other.

We’re so happy you’re part of it. ❤️

They would love to be your Valentine! 💕

💝 Be Their Valentine This Year! 💝

Love isn’t just chocolates and roses…
sometimes it looks like hay bales, vet bills, and a pig who finally feels safe again.

This Valentine’s Day, you can choose a rescue resident at Jenkins Forever Farm and become their Valentine sponsor! 🐾❤️ Stacy is an integral part of The Tasty Plate crew who also works tirelessly to love and care for these cuties locally!

✨ How it works:

🐮 Pick a Resident from the Valentine Poster
(If they’ve already found a Valentine, they’ll be marked!)

💌 Sponsor them for $25 (or any amount you feel called to share! Every dollar is greatly appreciated!)
Your gift helps provide food, medical care, special holiday treats, and cozy comfort this snowy season. 🥰

⬇️ Choose a payment option below and include your resident’s name in the notes (or message the farm page). Please comment your chosen sweetie’s name to help others see who else needs Cupid! 💘

PayPal or Card:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LUUQSWRL4RPFE

Venmo:
https://www.venmo.com/u/JenkinsForeverFarm

Every sponsorship tells an animal:
you mattered enough for someone to choose you. 🥹 Who shows love better than a beloved pet?

💞 Like • Share • Tag a fellow animal lover!
Let’s make sure nobody at the sanctuary spends Valentine’s Day without feeling enormous love!
The Farm, The Plate, & all of the residents thank you so very much for your ongoing support and….LOVE!! 😍

🌿 The Together Place · Community Poll 🌿

We’re dreaming ahead for 2026 and would love your voice.

One of our community teachers feels a strong call to begin offering classes, workshops, and small-group experiences here at The Together Place. Before anything is planned, we want to listen.

✨ What kinds of offerings would YOU be most interested in?
(You can vote for more than one!)

Poll Options:
• 🌱 Herbal workshops (Fire Cider, seasonal remedies, plant wisdom)
• 🧘‍♀️ Yoga or gentle movement (Eastern tradition)
• 🧘 Meditation & breathwork
• 💫 Energy awareness & balance (heart-centered, grounding, emotional calm)
• 🔮 Intuitive tools (pendulums, vision boards, “the clairs,” etc.)
• 🌕 Women’s circles / retreats / sacred gatherings
• 📚 Learning-focused talks (history of Reiki, spiritual traditions, energy basics)
• 🤍 I’m curious but not sure yet
• 📝 Something else (tell us in the comments!)

There’s no pressure and no prior experience required. These offerings would be about helping people reconnect with their heart space, find calm, and feel supported in a world that can feel overwhelming.

If something here sparks your curiosity, please vote or comment.
Your responses will help shape what’s offered next. 💛

Next event for February! 🤩

🍓 The Miracle Berry Tasting Party is BACK, now at The Together Place ! ✨

📅 Saturday, February 28th
⏰ 6–8 PM

💫 What’s a Miracle Berry?
These tiny berries temporarily flip your taste buds. Sour foods suddenly taste sweet. Lemons taste like candy. Vinegar gets wild. It’s part science, part magic, and 100% fun. Expect laughter, disbelief, and lots of “WAIT… try this next!” moments.

🌿 Alpha-gal safe | Allergy aware
Please let us know any specific needs so we can take good care of you.
