Picking Pumpkins on a Fall Day

Posted on October 16, 2012

A fun way to get some fresh air, some good food, and get to know a local farmer —  visit a local farm!  Here, at Rocky Reef Farm, the public is welcome to enjoy the bounty of the Hudson Valley.

There are many local farms in our area to visit and Pine Plains Views will post more video tours, I encourage you to go in person!  All too often, farms are just driven by.

WHY THIS WEBSITE

I came to Pine Plains by choice, not by chance of birth.

But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

And, like the land, people, too, are becoming subdivided as difference breeds distance rather than discourse.

I have been making these videos to preserve and reconstitute what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community.

On a more personal level, I am making this website as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
