In the first chapter of Hudson River Flows a group of writers, thinkers, and creatives worked to weave a new narrative of the Hudson Valley bioregional food economy. We followed the connective threads and flows where they led, as we revealed the system’s self-organizing collaborators and activators. You can read their stories here.

The story of one farmer's leap of faith to a deeper sense of belonging

Our Second Chapter
A short documentary and digital storytelling series profiling Jay Goldmark, farm manager of Stone House Farm in Hudson, NY, will launch our next chapter. Drawing on his unique storytelling gifts and his life experiences in both the world of conventional and regenerative organic farming, Jay offers a nonjudgmental perspective into the challenges, rewards, and complexities of farming in harmony with our natural and human communities. We will also be telling the story of an agroecology movement emerging in the Hudson Valley, of which Jay is a part, that is restoring all living communities, beginning with the microbial ones in our soil.
