On Our Radar
Faces, places, treasures, and trends that caught our attention.
Panacea is Good for You
Chefs and artists have a lot in common: Both take great risks to pursue their passions, knowing full well that the odds of lasting success are crushingly long.
Foxtrot Farm & Flowers
It’s not easy to reach Kate Farrar during the growing season. Most days she’s out of the house by 6 am, tending to the numerous beds at Foxtrot Farm & Flowers in Stanfordville.
Hillrock Estate Distillery
From their home on a bucolic piece of land high above the village of Ancram, Jeff Baker and Cathy Franklin helm one of the country’s foremost craft distilleries.
Eileen Naughton’s Garden
Tall and willowy with hair the color of autumn leaves, Eileen Naughton looks like she belongs in a garden, which is fitting because it’s where she spends much of her time.
Thistle Pass Farm
Now in its second year, Thistle Pass is flourishing; a successful plant sale in the spring, and local venues now offering its produce on their menus have left Brown “ecstatic and grateful.”
Play for P.I.N.K 2024
On Friday, July 12, guests gathered at the beautiful Mashomack Preserve Club in Pine Plains for the 9th Annual Play for P.I.N.K. Millbrook Luncheon to raise funds for breast cancer research.
Cottage Courses
Founded in 2023 by artists Polly Shindler and Natalie Baxter, Cottage Courses are hands-on maker workshops held at Troutbeck in Amenia and a few other venues.
Makers Make their Mark at Field & Supply
The markets have become a mecca for those in search of everything from salts and soaps, to tender leather goods, to high-touch/low-tech household decor.
In the Lyme Light
Lying in the fetal position on a bed, sitting shirtless facing away from the camera, propped up nude atop a stool—photographer Jiatong Lu captures the subjects of her series Nowhere Land.
Baker Island Foods – Sweets Without Wheats
“Can a Cookie Change the World?” That’s the tagline for Baker Island Foods, Anna Hall’s specialty food company.
In The Grove
Normally I don’t get too excited about eating at golf clubs. Country club food, as a general rule, tends to be reminiscent of the nursery, with a bland emphasis on burgers and equally unexotic fare. That, however, is not the case at The Grove Restaurant and Bar at the Red Hook Golf Club, a semi-private club near Hyde Park.
