Farm to Table, 2011-2014
Quail Hill Farm, Amagansett, NY, Charnews Farm, Southold, NY, Dumbo Arts Festival, Brooklyn, NY, and New Amsterdam Market, NYC. A project exploring the “eat local” movement, agricultural labor, farm “aesthetics,” using the practice of creating a farm, growing, branding, and selling its produce.
As part of Heather Hart's Bartertown project at the 2012 Dumbo Arts Festival, farm education was bartered to those willing to eat raw garlic. At the 2013 BarterTown event, visitors were asked to complete farm work (cleaning, tagging and packaging garlic) in exchange for garlic cloves.
The project culminated into two curated New Amsterdam Market days at the old Fulton Fish Market in downtown NYC. Many thanks to the hard work of the Peconic Land Trust, the now defunct New Amsterdam Market, Heather Hart's Bartertown, the now defunct Dumbo Arts Festival, and the garlic-lovers who participated in this project.
