Stone Barns Spring Feast

The Stone Barns Spring Feast is an annual culinary event held at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, located in Pocantico Hills, New York. Stone Barns Center is a nonprofit farm and education center that focuses on sustainable agriculture and food systems.

The Spring Feast is a celebration of the spring season and the abundance of fresh, locally grown food. It brings together renowned chefs, farmers, and food enthusiasts to showcase the flavors and techniques that highlight the farm-to-table movement. The event typically features a multi-course dinner prepared by guest chefs using ingredients sourced directly from the farm and the surrounding Hudson Valley region.

Guests at the Spring Feast can expect an exquisite dining experience that emphasizes seasonal and sustainable cuisine. The menu often includes a variety of dishes that showcase the best produce, meats, and dairy products available during the springtime. The chefs work closely with the farmers and artisans associated with Stone Barns Center to create a menu that highlights the flavors of the season and supports the principles of sustainable agriculture.

In addition to the meal, the Spring Feast may also include educational components such as farm tours, workshops, and presentations that explore the importance of sustainable food systems and the work being done at Stone Barns Center.

Attending the Stone Barns Spring Feast offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for good food, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship. It's a chance to support the mission of Stone Barns Center while enjoying a memorable dining experience in a beautiful farm setting.

Spare Food Co at The Parlor

The guys at Spare Food were kind enough to ask me to document their lunch at The Parlor. It was Chef Adam that recommended this incredible Westcheser Pizza joint back when I used to work with Stone Barns.

If you want to try some Spare Food Tonic, give these flavors a try at Decicco or Fresh Direct - Lemon & Ginger. Cucumber & Lime. Blueberry & Ginger. Peach & Turmeric.

Westchester Food Photographer - Edo

Always nice to work as a photographer for new restaurants, especially ones local to where I live in Westchester, New York. Everything here shot with a Sony A1 and a couple of Light and Motion LED’s.

Photographing Food and Beverage for Bluestone Lane

The past couple of days I have been photographing food for the new app that Bluestone Lane will be launching in the coming weeks. Although a lot of the concept was to shoot uniform images of all food and beverages, there is always an opportunity to capture some subtlety. Although I’m not a full time food photographer, I really enjoy capturing content for clients who work in the food industry.

And here’s a behind the scenes of the setup for both days of shooting food.
