Let's start by talking about the unique venues that the CIA has to offer. First, Anton Plaza, which sits in front of Roth Hall, a broad stone terrace perched above the tree line, where the ground falls away to reveal the Hudson River, the mountains, and the grand estates dotting the far shore. A long white pergola runs along one side of the plaza, a colonnade style structure with climbing greenery draped over its open lattice roof, and a gazebo anchors the overlook at the pla

I walked into the Newburgh Food Show at Adams last month, I wasn't just there as a journalist. I was there as my mother's daughter, taking in the whole experience and looking for something new. The food show itself was built for grazing. Vendors set up across the store to sample everything from small-batch pickles to fresh mozzarella, and the energy in the room made it clear these are people who love talking about what they make. Here's who I met.

When I visited, that philosophy was visible in the simplest way: a mountain of ground mushroom compost alive with worms, insects, and pollinators, a living ecosystem with nothing artificial pushing it along. Sixteen acres stretch from the farmhouse down to the river. A geodesic dome keeps beets, kale, Swiss chard, and herbs growing year-round. Lemon trees thrive there too, over a hundred lemons last year, along with figs and even bananas.

On Sunday, Liberty Farms in Ghent hosted Wild Hudson Valley, a spring benefit for Slow Food Hudson Valley. The barn was filled with chefs, farmers, and community leaders who care deeply about the future of food in our region. Slow Food, for anyone new to the movement, is a global organization working to protect biodiversity, preserve food traditions, and build a food system that is good, clean, and fair.
