Eat Your View

This is a phrase that gets bandied about a lot in the foodie world. Michael Pollan, in a NY Times blog post from 2006, has one of the most elegant explanations for the phrase: "If you want to preserve your view, eat from the food chain that created them." (In the City, of course, this wouldn't work so well. But you get the idea.)

I am delighted to report that the view that I eat is indeed stunning. The examples below speak for themselves:

Katchkie Farm, with the Catskills in the background

The greenhouses

Eggplant

Okra flowers-- and actual okra

The herb row-- lots and lots of basil
