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.

The next chapter at Millbrook Vineyards & Winery is taking shape, as the Hudson Valley’s flagship winery announces that Head Winemaker, Ian Bearup has been appointed general manager. In his dual role, Bearup will oversee all day-to-day operations of the winery, including strategy, team leadership, hospitality, sales and the guest experience, while continuing to direct the winery’s acclaimed wine production.

A cozy, connection-focused winter escape featuring yoga, pasta-making, creative workshops and a self-care pop-up.
