Mama Mary seems to spend ALL DAY cooking for our hungry gang! She is a fabulous cook, producing wonderful lunches every day. But, she is not alone; part of being a student at KFI means helping Mama Mary with food preparation and cleanup.

We were lucky to inherit Damas with the KFI property, he has been at the house for many years and knows it well. He makes sure we are safe and sound during the day and that the garden is kept immaculately well. He is also very resourceful in other areas when his help is needed and is a very important part of our team. He is also quite a good cook, but I don’t think Mama Mary lets him near her kitchen!
