Wow - we are so sorry if you missed it. We had NO IDEA that Benito has family in Monterey and he freaking came to HAPPY GIRL! He liked the name - of course - he said he knows lots of happy girls. At first we did not recognize him because he was just casual. But, Luis started to speak with him in Spanish and then I heard his voice and was like “WHAT?”. We were able to tell him THANK YOU for being an anthem of hope in these chaotic times. His Super Bowl half time show was the first time we had felt proud to be an American in a long time. The Americas united in LOVE. He just really gets it. He lives our motto “Compassion in Action” as he makes everyone feel included and cared for. It was really such a dream come true to nourish Bad Bunny himself. We just couldn’t believe it. We were like “did that really just happen”? Sometimes it gets fuzzy - especially on this day of the year - the first day of April - where dreams merge into reality and we get to serve the people we would love to serve the most. Thank you for reading this far into the message and we hope your dreams come true today. It is a very special day of the year.

We are incredibly thankful to Julia Butterfly Hill for joining us as the special guest speaker at our magical Farm to Table fundraiser. What an inspiration! She shared a powerful message of empowerment and change, inviting each of us to reflect on the question, “What is your tree?”🌲

During the evening, this one of a kind painting was created live at the dinner. Paul Richmond and Scout beautifully captured the spirit of hope and transformation that the event celebrated—and Julia herself added a few meaningful strokes to the piece, making it even more special. 🎨

The artwork is now up for auction at Happy Girl and will be available through Tuesday, March 3rd. The silent auction is open both in person and online. Bidding has started at $250 and is currently at $500. To place a bid, email [email protected] and follow along on our Instagram stories for updates.

There are just a few days left in our fundraising campaign, so there’s still time to donate and receive some wonderful gift incentives. Stop by and chat with our staff or visit the link to learn more. Every contribution—big or small—makes a difference! ✨

Another unforgettable gathering at .cv brought us together once again, and my biggest takeaway is this: our community is strong.

You could feel the energy from every corner last Sunday. There was a beautiful moment during dinner — everyone seated at stunning tables, savoring incredible food while soft, smooth music filled the air — when it truly hit me just how strong our community is.

Love was woven into every detail of the evening. If you were there, you know exactly what I mean — authenticity and genuine connection were everywhere you turned.

Real relationships. Real food. Real flowers. Real music. Real soul. Real hugs. Real speeches. Real art. Real love.

This is what people long for, and we’re so fortunate to experience it together. More photos coming!

A sneak peek at tonight’s BeeT Tenderloin, marinating for our wood-fired filet of beet with black truffle celeriac purée and braised endive — created by Chef Todd Fisher of The Meatery.

Our chefs have intentionally designed a vegetarian/vegan menu that celebrates the Happy Girl Kitchen ethos and showcases just how extraordinary vegetables can be. More behind-the-scenes content is coming… and to tonight’s guests — get ready!!!

We’re here because of our farm partners.
And this next chapter is something we’re building together.

Partners like Tamar at have shaped who we are. These aren’t just suppliers. They’re collaborators, teachers, and friends. Together, we’ve weathered unpredictable seasons, celebrated incredible harvests, and built a shared commitment to farming that cares for land, people, and future generations.

That’s why buying our building means so much more than real estate.

It’s a promise.

A promise that the produce grown with intention will always have a home here. A promise that long standing farm partnerships can deepen instead of disappear. A promise that small organic farms — and the people behind them — remain at the center of everything we make.

There are 13 days left for us to meet our 200K goal, so please take a look at the many ways you can contribute and receive great gift incentives with your donation! And we still have a few more tickets left for our farm to table dinner this Sunday, February 22nd. Please tap the link NOW!

This Sunday, February 22nd join us at the table. Our Farm to Table Fundraiser is a true celebration of community, seasonality, and incredible talent.

We’re honored to welcome a collaborative lineup of visionary chefs and makers who are bringing this menu to life — each dish rooted in the land, peak seasonal produce, and the spirit of Happy Girl Kitchen.

From vibrant dips and handmade breads to wild foraged mushroom risotto, wood-fired beet filet with black truffle celeriac, and a bright citrus-kissed Gateau Voyage to finish… this menu tells a story of craft, care, and connection.

This evening is more than a dinner — it’s a gathering of farmers, fermenters, bakers, and chefs working together to nourish community and support the work we believe in.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come support us in buying the building.

Tickets are limited — we can’t wait to share this beautiful night with you. Tap the link to purchase your tickets now!
