Recently Jason asked me for some images of him on the farm and I knew I could find a few from the past 5 years of photographing at Stone Barns. Jason has been one of the nicest people every time I’ve visited Stone Barns, always welcoming me and taking the time to check that I was doing ok. I miss working there, but I’m glad to have reconnected with him for these images.

I’m always happiest when I’m on the farm photographing.

It was another amazing few days on the farm at Stone Barns learning about farming, food and agriculture from some of the best people on the planet. There were some pretty serious discussions too around equality and land reform that got directed at Mark Bittman. I'm not sure the question that sparked the discomfort was as clearly stated as intended so I don't entirely think Bittman was at fault for his answer, but the idea behind the discussion is important and needs to be brought to the forefront.

Always great to spend some time on the farm at Stone Barns especially in the summer when there are so many great things in bloom and the brand new little Red Wattle piglets were an added bonus.

On a slightly lighter note than the previous post, today is the first day of spring. Here are some more photographs from yesterdays Poultry School at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture.

It's always great to see photographs used, especially when they're emailed out to everyone from such an incredible place as Stone Barns.
