A new book titled Hudson River Valley Farms: The People and the Pride Behind the Produce really highlights the farms of our region—40 of them to be exact and the farmers. Staff writer Linda Lombroso featured the book by Joanne Michaels in yesterday’s paper and I thought it worth of some extra attention. Here is a link.
Photographs in the book are by Rich Pomerantz and they dazzle every page. While I appreciate the shots of produce and landscape, I really, really love the ones of the animals. I am particularly enchanted by a picture of two lambs on page 34 from Four Winds Farms in Gardiner, Ulster County. Closer to home there are shots of Cabbage Hill Farm in Mt. Kisco and Stuart’s Farm in Granite Springs.
This Sunday, Michaels will be signing copies locally. Noon to 3 p.m. at Philipsburg Manor (381 N. Broadway, Sleepy Hollow; 914-631-3992) and then later in the month, Oct. 18 from 2 to 3 p.m. at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture (630 Bedford Road, Pocantico Hills; reservations suggested at 914-366-6200, Ext. 151 or stonebarnscenter.org).
The book is from is $29.95 and from The Globe Pequot Press.
