GREETINGS!

2025 is coming to a close with 2026 on its way. Did you know this upcoming year will be Healthy Living’s 40th anniversary? To celebrate this BIG event, our “What’s on My Plate” theme will be: 40 Years and Growing. Of course, our history includes lots of stories, challenges, revelations, downsides, upsides, and more. But we’re not just looking backwards!

Instead, our 2026 WOMPs will be all about the joy we’ve focused on all these years and will continue to focus on for years to come. And what IS joy for us, you might ask? Food, farms and farmers, hospitality, staff and jobs, family, our growth, community, education, and our eight essential behaviors. These are what I think about when I consider joy and the things I’ll be writing about in 2026.  

Heavy equipment has arrived on site at our new location in Halfmoon, NY (speaking of growing!) and we’re watching things progress. More about that in 2026, too! I hope you’ll enjoy our 40th anniversary year-long WOMP series. 

In the meantime, it’s December and the holidays are upon us. This season always reminds me why I started Healthy Living almost four decades ago: to bring families together around real, delicious food, sourced with care.  

Peace and joy,

Katy
