When COVID-19 hit the United States in 2020, 12-year-old Waccabuc resident Colby Kipnes began distance learning, just like her peers. But unlike most other children, Kipnes also took on the very adult role of working from home. But, her work couldn’t be done at her desk – she had to work in a closet, her mother’s closet, to be precise ...

The Future of Farming
Climate change, a shrinking water supply, land scarcity, invasive species, disease, trade wars, mega farms – the farming industry is simply not sustainable in its current state. Something must change. But what? Those with their eye toward the future of farming say it’s the farmer and their practices that should change. The broad focus, they say, should center around caring ...

A Day in Hudson
Writing & Photography by Justin Negard There are several good “New York rivertown” comeback stories in our area. Places like Beacon, Tarrytown and Nyack have reinvented themselves against the backdrop of dying industries and forgotten commerce, weaving their past into something entirely different and fresh. Hudson is another one of those stories. A small city with a rich past, the ...

When it comes to gardening, think natural tech before high tech

When conditions lean toward the extreme, there are a host of challenges and concerns for gardeners. Luckily, it’s 2024 and technological developments in garden care abound. Whether you are new to plant care or a leather-necked vet, ...
Keep it Growing
Writing by Leslie Dock Artwork by Zoe Stevensy Tips for a consistent harvest Afew months ago, my brother asked me what farmers do during the winter. My immediate response was, “We rest.” Compared to the absurd amount of activity farmers engage in during the other nine months of the year, this statement is largely accurate. When not resting, a farmer ...

A Taste of Home
Writing by Gia Miller Photography by Justin Negard When sisters Joana and Meto Herrera took over Armonk’s Mariachi Mexico from their father in 2013, they had one main goal: it should look, taste and sound just like home. During the restaurant’s long-standing January break, they transformed the Tex-Mex favorite into something that reminded them of Tlaxcuapan, the small town in ...

“Soul Deep” Self Care
The term self-care gets bandied about quite a bit these days – here’s what you need to do before you can take care of yourself properly For many people “self-care” brings to mind the image of candlelit baths and aromatherapy massages.

Chili and Spice
Spicy. I wanted spicy. After a few months in Katonah, I still hadn’t found the hot singles scene that I was looking for. Sure, I tried the sewer ribbon-cutting in December – that was a big dump. I’ve sauntered the aisles of DeCiccos in a striking pair of Louboutins, but I always leave with dinner for one. I even bought ...
Katonah Love: The New Sewer
When one thinks of Katonah, the word ‘spicy’ invariably comes to mind. It’s the ultimate singles scene. The perfect hotspot for romance, dating, and whatever hookups someone might want. Even the word “Katonah” translates roughly to “nights of passion.” (I think?) So, when I told my city friends that I was moving to this sizzling Northern Westchester neighborhood, they all ...
