Returning To Our Roots: East Hampton’s New Farms
A panel discussion with beloved local farmers from Amber Waves and Balsam Farms, focused on our agricultural reawakening. This panel discussion focuses on East Hampton’s new farms and what’s inspired a new generation of farmers to work East Hampton’s soil. For years, the narrative has focused on the forces of development eliminating local farms. This event focuses on what’s inspired a new generation of people to choose to go into farming, and to talk about the history of their farms, along with the challenges they deal with. The panel will feature Ian Calder-Piedmonte from Balsam Farms, along with Katie Baldwin and Amanda Merrow from Amber Waves. A Tom Twomey Series event, presented by the East Hampton Library and the East Hampton Historical Society. Free event; RSVP requested at tomtwomeyseries.org.
