Farming in a Changing Landscape: A Dialogue About Local Food Systems
2023-04-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Whallonsburg Grange, 1610 Nys Route 22, Whallonsburg, NY, 12936, United States
About this event from thegrangehall.info
“The pandemic and its aftermath brought tremendous changes and new pressures to independent farms in and around the Adirondack region. Rising costs, scarce labor, and shifting demographics and land ownership patterns are changing the ways farms work in the North Country. Climate change has added another layer of risk to agriculture, everywhere. Across the nation and around the world, consolidation of the production, processing, transportation and distribution of food is accelerating. What does all this change mean for the array of family-sized farms that produce direct-to-consumer whole food for our communities? What new challenges are on the horizon, and what opportunities do these changes present? What do we want from our unique foodshed and agricultural landscape, and how can we work together to shape them?
Kristin Kimball will lead a panel discussion with Racey Henderson, Reber Rock Farm, Ian Ater, Fledging Crow Farm, and David Brunner and Rhonda Butler, Asgaard Farm

Kristin Kimball co-owns and farms at Essex Farm, a full-diet, year-round CSA founded in 2003. She’s the author of two books about her life as a farmer, The Dirty Life and Good Husbandry.

Uncovering African-American History in the Adirondacks
2023-03-26 15:00 - 16:30 | Whallonsburg Grange, 1610 Nys Route 22, Whallonsburg, NY, 12936, United States
More info about this event thegrangehall.info
“In this talk, Paul Smith’s professor Curt Stager shares the research and writing he has been doing on the history of African Americans in the North Country, including mapping all 3,000 lots given by Garret Smith to Black families to settle in the region in the 1850s and digging up the stories of these families.. He and his wife, Kary Johnson, traveled 5,000 miles this summer on a trip to visit sites in the South connected to Black Adirondackers who lived and died here. This research is helping to uncover their lost history and change the history of the Adirondacks.
Curt is an ecologist, paleoclimatologist, and science journalist who is the author of Deep Future, Your Atomic Self, and Field Notes From the Northern Forest. He brings his diverse background to bear on his books, radio programs, and presentations, blending the long-term perspective of a climate historian and multidisciplinary outlook of a biologist-geologist with the communication skills of a lifelong teacher and writer.
