A Table on A Farm - Agrarian Ales

Words by Justin McCarty, Photos by Rebecca Shenton

The Tilley family, which has cultivated the land on which Agrarian Ales sits since 1985 as an organic farm, and their compatriots have grown something better from their land than just fresh organic produce, it has become a place for good food, good beer, good friends, and good farming.

The Road Taken - Surprisingly Local & ...

Words and Photos by Gibson Holland and Nick Toole

Our most recent drive home from Dickinson College marked the end of a tradition. We wanted to end our tradition on a high note. We see ourselves as (amateur, but proud) beer geeks, and the logical choice was to visit a couple breweries as we drove home. We wanted more than a simple tour; we wanted to talk to the brewers, the owners, and the drinkers.

A Hope and A Dream - Big Hill Ciderworks

Big Hill is bringing people closer to their local agriculture, but at their core they simply want to provide the best experience they can through their cider. Their identity isn't simply farm-to-glass cider making, they are making cider that speaks to their community and connects to the identity of Adams County Pennsylvania. 

Hard Fought Success in the High Country - Fields to Plate Produce

Hard Fought Success in the High Country - Fields to Plate Produce

Words and Photos by Emily Bowie

The drive to the Old Fort Farm in Hesperus, Colorado is deceptively steep. From downtown Durango I rose steadily, almost imperceptibly, and gained a thousand feet within minutes. With a bit of navigating, I located the Fields to Plate farmers. The small crew was harvesting a thousand-pound beet sunset: red, gold, pink, purple. The bounty seemed unlikely for such a dry, high altitude location; so, I set forth to learn how they did it.
