Editor’s Note: This photo essay is the fourth in a four-part series to revisit the locals we profiled in our first year of publication. This page’s black and white portraits are from 2006, when we paid homage to new farmers and to those who had left the business. The color portraits that follow are recent photographs by Brenna Zumbro. Click on any photo to begin slide show.
