#FarmersandGrowers
🚜In this month's edition to our "GIMME THE DIRT ON..." series, our Farmer Rebecca Collins Brooks @catskillwagyu talks about Chickens, Eggs and more! Let's take a 🫣 peek...

🐓HISTORY + SYMBOLISM:

High atop the old Notre Dame spire once stood a rooster—France’s national symbol, a beacon of hope, and a silent witness to history. When the cathedral burned in 2019, farmer, musician and francophile Rebecca Collins Brooks of Hilltop Farm in Accord, NY, watched in heartbreak, praying that two things would survive: the rooster weathervane + the grand pipe organ. The organ was damaged but repairable. The weathervane, however, was lost beyond repair.

👩‍🌾 "The rooster is the national symbol of France. It crows from the top of war memorials and palace gates. It’s used in the heraldry of flags, banners and sports jerseys."

Rebecca's American Bresse chickens (heritage birds from Bresse, France) are a daily reminder of tradition, craftsmanship and patience. For her, that golden rooster symbolized resilience—light overcoming darkness. On the farm, resilience is everywhere. The days are growing longer, the hens are busy filling the coop with chatter + eggs, and the roosters stand tall, watching over their flock. Spring is near...

🐣 HUDSON VALLEY FARM LIFE:

Are the cost of eggs giving you sticker shock? 🤑 Think about farming!

👩‍🌾 "Chickens are what I call 'the gateway drug' of farming. Once someone starts with chickens, it always seems like larger livestock soon follow."

🐓 For folx in the valley who are interested in having their own chickens, read further for this farmer's wisdom as she covers these interesting aspects of raising chickens + eggs:

Coops
Roosters
Breeding
Hens
Eggs
Protection
Incubators
Hatch Day
🐣 ...and more!

Read more about the rhythm of #farmlife, in the crack of a fresh egg + in the crow of a rooster greeting the dawn at Hilltop Farm in Accord NY @catskillwagyu brings renewal and life!

#FoodforFoodies Before Spring slides its way into

#FoodforFoodies
Before Spring slides its way into our lives along with lighter fare, it's still a great time to indulge in Winter #ComfortFood —dishes that provide a sense of nostalgia, warmth + emotional satisfaction.

Comfort foods remind us of #Homemade family meals, childhood memories, or cultural traditions. They tend to be rich, hearty, and indulgent, offering a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Some popular comfort foods vary by region + personal preference. Here are some of our favs...

🧀 Mac + cheese
🧇 Fried Chicken + Waffles
🍳 Shakshuka
🥔 Mashed potatoes + gravy
🍲 French Onion Soup
🍤 Shrimp + Grits
🌭 Schnitzel + Mushroom Cream sauce + Spätzle
🥘 Pot Pie
🍰 Strawberry Shortcake (Ooh.. any creamy dessert you can think up!)

👉 To find these scrumptious comfort foods, here's our #hotlist...

🎵 What do Nick Drake, Taj Mahal, Pink Floyd, John Martyn, R.E.M, Toots and the Maytals, The Trio Bulgarka, and scores of artists from Britain and Africa to Bulgaria and Cuba have in common?

A better question would be who they have in common… and that would be the legendary record producer Joe Boyd 💫 @joeboydofficial

We're thrilled to share an INSIDE+OUT exclusive interview with music icon Joe Boyd who will be at The Local on March 18 👉 @thelocalsaugerties #savethedate

In his six-decade career, Joe Boyd discovered and produced some of the world’s finest and most creative recording artists.

🎤 🎸 His intriguing history as a rock-n-roll Zelig – a man who seemed to find himself everywhere from stage managing Dylan’s electric debut at Newport to discovering and producing some of the most legendary artists to emerge in Swingin’ London–was chronicled in his acclaimed memoir, "White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s."

His new book "And the Roots of Rhythm Remain" is an inspiring history of music from around the globe.

“What an amazing book! I doubt I’ll ever read a better account of the history and sociology of popular music than this one. It has me saying ‘Wow’ on every page.”
Brian Eno

📍On Tuesday, March 18, at 7 pm, @thelocalsaugerties presents a free event featuring Joe Boyd discussing his latest book and the many intriguing chapters of his 60-plus year career in music.
