One might also take part in community events, like storytelling, music or other arts, Cortez Days or the Hollyhock Faire. There are many talented craftspersons on the island. Last but not least, are the world famous Hollyhock meals. The skilled and imaginative cooks provide gourmet vegetarian cuisine, served buffet style, using fresh organic vegetables, greens, herbs, berries and edible flowers from the garden, and wholesome grains, eggs and dairy. One night a week, local oysters are barbecued on the beach and fish is served along with the usual vegetables and salads.
Special diets are also available if ordered ahead.
Each summer a group of friends attend a T ai Chi workshop with Judyth Weaver at Hollyhock Farm. These regulars are a wonderful meld, a diverse assortment of humans from across the continent, brought together for a common purpose. We consider each other to be our T ai Chi family. Each year there are also new people who may or may not become regulars. This year's group hails from England, Japan, Switzerland the U.S. and Canada.
