PFP in Vassar Quarterly and Edible Hudson Valley this month
This Fall, the PFP was featured in two magazines, the Vassar Quarterly Alumnae Magazine and the Edible Hudson Valley. Both articles tie in nicely with the current issue of the newsletter.
The Vassar Quarterly features three companion articles about Vassar Alumni who've made farming a part of their lives in everyday ways. Digging Deeper features former PFP Assistant Grower, Miriam Latzer '97 and a former PFP Intern, Pablo Elliott '00. Both have run their own CSAs and remain committed to growing sustainable food. The second article features Young Women Farmers The third article The Poughkeepsie Farm Project calls the PFP a "incubator of sorts, a profound and transformative experience that has compelled many a Vassar grad to use his or her liberal arts education to go back to the land, to build community, and to help drive a shift toward local, sustainable farms and food systems." The articles are all complemented by many great photos of the former staff and interns and tie in well with our own newslettter article this month, "Apprentices Past and Future" where you can read for more about our excellent interning program.
