the farmer's wife

Here’s how Carolyn and I met: Almost 3 years ago, I wrote a magazine story on Diane Hatz and Sustainable Table. I met Diane for an interview at Glynwood, a Cold Spring farm that promotes sustainability and has a kick-ass CSA. Carolyn’s husband Dave was interviewing at Glynwood that day and would become the head farmer for that kick-ass CSA. We met. Said hi. Went home.



Months later, I was with my toddler at a local library when I met Carolyn again (work life, meet home life) and I’ve since discovered that she is a loyal and committed friend. She is tirelessly generous and passionate about sharing the farm with her community and creating opportunities for our children to learn about their food source and screech at baby animals. Spring has brought loads of babies to the farm—piglets, kids, even a young horse—and so it makes sense that this farmer’s wife will welcome her own baby in a few weeks. I can’t wait to meet the little Boop.

{Holistic Maternity}

Stanzi is a super talented vegan chef/nutritional counselor in Garrison and she was eager to get some maternity shots before she pops. (She's 35 weeks here, doesn't she look ridiculously fantastic?) The shoot was easy because Stanzi has such a good sense of who she is: holistic with a little edge. And the place she calls home is like a fairytale, all mossy stone walls and dirt roads and spooky horse stables. Her little prince wasn't so sure about getting his picture taken, but he was excited about the kale chips he helped his mom make. He was generous enough to share some with me, and I promise, they were fantastic. Seriously. I'm excited to make them for my little princess. Stanzi has been kind enough to share the recipe on her blog. Go forth and check it out.
