A Trip to the Farm.....

This weekend NYC was blessed with beautiful weather - 70 degrees, sunshine and to top it off a nice breeze too. Michael and I visited Stone Barn Farm in the Hudson Valley (north of the city) with our friends Mike and Michelle (and their baby Matty). The farm produces a variety of veggies and herbs and raises sheep, berkshire pigs and chickens. There is a restaurant on the farm called Blue Hill and everything grown on the farm is used on the menu. Talk about farm to table! If you are an avid Top Chef fan, you'll remember that one of the episodes took place here. If you're curious, here is the website of the farm. http://www.stonebarnscenter.org/

Here are a few pictures from our visit:
