Between Planting and Picking — Donna Hopkins

I learned to love these kind of photographs from Sandi Haber Fifield and her book, Between Planting and Picking, c. 2011. (You can still find used copies of her book on ebay for reasonable prices).

“Her gaze pauses on the simple things: the quality of light as it filters through a greenhouse wall or the accidental beauty of boxes heaped high in a corner. In doing so, Haber Fifield encourages us to ponder a rich middle ground: what happens in the time and space before the produce arrives at the stand and on our tables.”

We signed up for a small share CSA box from Snead’s Farm this year. It’s worth the entire price to be able to roam the farm and take pictures from spring through fall.
