Last week I finished the project I have been working on for the past year. I have had the incredible privilege of working with Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture to interview and photograph the farmers in this book. Through working with Suzanne I learned about the determination, knowledge and patience it takes to have a farm in this region, and additionally, what the area gains from having a strong local farming community. Documenting the participating farmers, I bore witness to a love of for the land and the Blue Ridge Mountains that inspires me and gives me confidence in a sustainable future for our community and region. Join us to celebrate the book launch on May 17th at the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum.

On a side note, working with local farmers has been an amazing experience, but working with Suzanne Fleishman has been such a delight. She will try to tell you that she was't the driving force behind this project, but she was. She is an incredible woman and I have been so glad to be able to work with her and call her friend.
