A Letter from
Jill Isenbarger,
Executive Director
Dear Friends,
We get a lot of visitors to Stone Barns – approximately 100,000 last
year. For some, it’s a school field trip; for others, it’s a day’s outing
from the city, or a stop on a family vacation. But, for those seeking
to change America’s food culture and improve our farming practices, a visit to Stone Barns is more of a quest. Bent on a mission,
people come to Stone Barns to find inspiration, discover new ideas
and engage with like minds.
For the apprentices who join our farming operations each year, theirs
is a very personal journey as they work to become young farmers
(see p. 4). They understand that moving toward sustainability in
agriculture begins with them, one farmer and one field at a time.
During author and food activist Michael Pollan’s recent visit, I had
the chance to introduce him to some of our apprentices. It was
inspiring to watch these smart, skilled young people glide seamlessly from talk of the mechanics of raising animals and cultivating
fields to debating the role of organic produce in contemporary
society with one of the foremost thinkers and writers of our time.
These apprentices have chosen farming, often in the face of parental
skepticism and in spite of the odds stacked against them; chosen
to make a difference rather than make money because they are
committed to confronting some of the most pressing problems
of our time.
First Lady Michelle Obama is also on a quest. Two years ago, she
launched “Let’s Move!,” a nationwide campaign to focus attention
on childhood obesity by helping improve community access to fresh
produce and healthy living, among other things. Mrs. Obama traces
the origins of the campaign to the kitchen garden she established
upon moving to the White House. While visiting Stone Barns last fall
with the spouses of United Nations dignitaries, Mrs. Obama said,
“What we learned from the mere planting of that garden was that
we could use this simple tool to engage children in a conversation
about their own health and nutrition” (see p. 9).
Mrs. Obama’s high-profile mission, some might say, is the opposite
of an apprentice’s. Still, their work is fundamentally connected.
Through different approaches, they are working toward the same
goal: to change America’s food system to benefit individual, community and environmental health.

As our board president Fred Kirschenmann observes in his new
book (see p. 13), even though America’s industrial food system is
perceived by many to be “the envy of the world,” its problems run
deep. A heavy reliance on fossil fuels and finite water supplies is
unsustainable and environmentally destructive. The production
of subsidized commodities has led to an abundance of cheap but
highly processed, low-nutrition and high-calorie foods on supermarket shelves – in turn contributing to an epidemic of obesity,
especially among lower-income Americans. And the era of large
industrial farms has contributed to the deterioration of America’s
rural communities. But Fred also notes that the emergence of “an
alternative food culture” – one seen in the rise of farmers markets,
community-supported agricultural operations and school gardens
– holds great promise.
Stone Barns was founded to be a locus of demonstration, education
and the exchange of ideas in support of this emerging alternative
food culture. Here, people find a place to develop, discuss and test
ideas. They find a place to take ideas out of the abstract and put
them into practice. Our experiments with crop diversity, rotational
grazing and greenhouse design serve as models for other farmers.
Our effort to train young farmers is helping usher in a new generation
of farmers committed to sustainability. Our programs for children
are forging lifelong connections to the food they choose to eat.
And for those on a quest and with a mission – shooting for the stars
and seeking nothing short of wholesale change – we are glad to be
an important way station on the journey.

The practice of agriculture changed radically over the past half-century. Diversified, small
and mid-sized family farms gave way to industrial mega-farms. The growing of monocultures and the use of vast amounts of water and fertilizer have taken no small toll on human
health and the environment.

About Stone Barns
But a new movement is afoot to re-invent the way we grow and consume food – one that is
better for people and communities and more in harmony with the land, water and wildlife.
At the center of this movement is Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a working
farm and education center with a mission: to create a healthy and sustainable food system
that benefits our health and environment.

Our Supporters 2010
At Stone Barns, we work to celebrate, teach and advance community-based, diversified food
production and the enjoyment of fresh, nutritious food. Located on an 80-acre farm in the
Hudson River Valley, 25 miles north of New York City, we host more than 100,000 children,
farmers, chefs and other visitors annually to explore our farmland and forests, our agricultural methods and the farm-to-table cuisine prepared at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, our awardwinning partner restaurant and café.
As a productive farm, Stone Barns not only grows good food for Blue Hill and for sale at our
on-site seasonal Farm Market, but it is also a center of experimentation for new hybrid seeds,
old heirloom vegetable varieties and heritage breed livestock. As an education center, it is
leading the way in sustainable agriculture through three program initiatives: training young
farmers in resilient, restorative farming techniques; educating children about the sources of
their food; and raising public awareness about the value of healthy, seasonal, sustainable food.

Growing
Farmers
Goals: offer paid farm apprenticeships and the Young Farmers Conference annually, technical workshops at minimal cost,
and online networking opportunities for young farmers across the country.
Since the 1940s, small diversified farms in the United States have been disappearing, bought out by large corporation-owned
farms, and the average age of farmers is approaching 60. The need to grow a new, younger crop of farmers – one well-versed
in sustainable agricultural methods – is obvious but is not always economically viable or practical. In the past, family farms
were handed down generation to generation, but many of today’s aspiring young farmers did not grow up on farms and need
training from seasoned farmers. Central to the success of this next generation of farmers will be our ability to remedy the problems that have stymied them, such as access to affordable land, prohibitive capital costs and lack of distribution channels.
Stone Barns wants to stop the loss of farmers, farmland and rural economies, and to increase the number of sustainable
small and mid-sized farms, especially in the Northeast. We help provide the resources young farmers need to succeed: technical
training, mentoring by experienced farmers and networking with peers. Our paid, full-time apprenticeships bring novice
farmers to Stone Barns for six to eight months to gain experience in our livestock, vegetable and compost areas. Our conferences and hands-on workshops gather together hundreds of young farmers from across the country and internationally.
“Last year the USDA announced that the number of farmers in the U.S. had increased for the first time in 150 years ....
There’s no other trend in our society anywhere near as cheerful as this swell around food – what it means, how it’s
produced and under what circumstances.”
Bill McKibben, Author, Educator and Environmentalist

Apprentice Profile: Alec Baxt
As a kid, Alec Baxt watched his neighbors coax fruits and vegetables
from their Brooklyn, N.Y., backyards. Years later, in 2009, he made
his first attempt at establishing a vegetable garden on a friend’s
land in rural Ohio. After this admittedly hit-or-miss venture, Alec
realized he could use a mentor. The next year, Alec came to Stone
Barns as a field apprentice. At the end of the 2010 season, he
returned to Brooklyn and co-founded FarmingUp, a partnership
working to create a large-scale rooftop farm designed to grow great
food for local residents.
What is “skyfarming for nutrient density” – your project’s tagline?
We don’t know if rooftop-grown food is on par with field-grown
foods nutritionally. Because roofs have strict load limits, greening
a roof requires highly engineered soils, designed to be very lightweight. Well, nutrition starts in the soil. So if you’re growing food
in this lightweight stuff, what are the nutritional implications?
Growing great food is a make-or-break for me.

Attendees at the 2010 Young
Farmers Conference gather
around Stone Barns farmer
Jack Algiere during a hands-on
field workshop.
Given your goal to be a farmer, why Brooklyn?
I am used to interacting with the world in a very Brooklyn-centric
way. I don’t like to drive. I like that people stop by and ring each
other’s doorbells. In New York City, people come out of the woodwork to help out in neighborhood gardens.
What might we find you doing in 10 years?
Perhaps I’ll be helping launch urban farms regionally and teaching
about nutrient-dense crop production. I was pretty horrified to see
how little the average young farmer knows about soil. Growing
great food isn’t rocket science, but it does involve science. Part of
the idea of FarmingUp is to help people understand what makes
food great and how to do it themselves.
Highlights of the past year:
• Our 2010 Young Farmers Conference was the biggest
one to date, with 260 people from 24 states, Canada and
Nigeria participating. Nearly 70% of attendees were beginning or intermediate young farmers, and a majority were
female – the fastest-growing group of owner-operators of
new small farms in the Northeast. We provided 13 full and
eight work-exchange scholarships for selected attendees.
• Kathleen Merrigan, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture,
was a keynote speaker at the conference, inviting tough
questions about the looming 2012 Farm Bill and its
implications for small farmers. Rancher Bill Niman and
attorney and author Nicolette Hahn Niman presented
a keynote address about the pioneering work they do at
their Northern California ranch.
• In 2010, Stone Barns offered nine apprenticeships on the
farm. Ranging in age from their early 20s to mid-30s, the
apprentices came from as far away as Colorado and North
Carolina, and as nearby as Westchester County. To docu-
ment their work, inspiration and aspirations, Erin Boyle,
a graduate student at the John Nicholas Brown Center for
Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage at Brown University, created the Apprentice Oral History project. See
it online at www.stonebarnscenter.org/our-work/youngfarmers-initiative/apprentice-oral-history-project/
• Onsite workshops throughout the year focus on the Center’s
specific areas of expertise, with staff farmers and skilled
partners as trainers. For example, in July 2010, we held a
one-day workshop for 15 beginning
farmers focused on growing
and marketing herbs
and edible flowers
for culinary and
medicinal use.
5
Educating
Children
Goal: engage and educate at least 10,000 children each year, with 30% or more coming from high-needs school districts.
With one in three children eating fast food every day, it’s not easy to reduce the current high rates of childhood obesity in our
country. But we do know that by introducing them to the source of good food – our farms – we can make a lifelong impression
on what and how they eat. An essential part of our mission at Stone Barns is giving children hands-on experiences that can
change their eating habits for life. And with each choice they make, today and as adult consumers, they can help usher in a
healthy and sustainable food system.
In 2010, 11,600 children visited Stone Barns through school and after-school programs and summer camps. Each time a
child reaches around a chicken to gather an egg or pulls up a bunch of spinach, its roots caked in soil, a bond is forged
between her and the farmland and environment that sustain us all. Each time a child learns to prepare these farm-fresh
ingredients into delicious, nutritious meals, a connection is made between him and good food from local sources. With
each link, we are growing the next generation of thoughtful food consumers who value community-based food production
and land and water conservation.
“Many communities in this country don’t have sufficient access to fresh produce and healthy living. That’s why
Stone Barns is so important, because many of these kids may never learn that ketchup comes from a tomato,
or that french fries actually come from a potato, because they’re very disconnected from the food that they eat.”
First Lady Michelle Obama

Teacher Profile: Micki Lockwood
Micki Lockwood is the enrichment teacher at the Claremont School,
a public school of third and fourth graders in Ossining, N.Y. Over the
past few years, she has brought three groups of students to Stone
Barns Center and has participated in two of our teacher training
courses. As a result, Micki and her students were inspired to create
the school’s Heart of Claremont Garden. Says Micki, “Stone Barns
changed the way I teach about gardening and farming.”
What is planted in the Heart of Claremont Garden?
The children selected everything there: saplings, flowers, herbs,
bird feeders, artwork and tables. The butterfly garden supports the
third grade curriculum, and the herb garden supports fourth grade
colonial studies. The strawberry and herb gardens are our attempt
at farm-to-table.

Whether feeding the pigs or
learning about laying hens,
a child’s visit to Stone Barns
Center is full of fresh experiences
and tactile wonder.
What has been the biggest transferable lesson from Stone Barns to
your garden?
Compost. We are beginning to compost our lunch waste and use it
in the garden.
What most excites your students about a visit to the farm?
Seeing the animals, of course – but also talking about the treatment
of farm animals and thinking about what it would be like to be a farmer.
What do they talk about after a visit?
When are we going back! Also about what happens to the plants and
animals through the seasons.
If you can plant one single idea about sustainable agriculture in the
mind of a nine-year-old, what is it?
We can grow and buy our own food locally, and it’s important to
support local farms. They have been amazed to see how close a
working farm is to them!
Highlights of the past year:
• Our “Making the Farm-to-Table Connection in Winter”
program has brought more than 850 middle- and highschool students to the farm over the past two winters,
from 27 schools in Paterson, N.J., and Westchester
County, N.Y.
• More scholarships are being made available to high-needs
school districts to support students’ field trips to Stone
Barns. Scholarships have expanded to serve four additional New York State school districts not designated as
high-needs but that are underserved.
• More than 300 children
attended after-school
programs at Stone Barns,
and 40 participated in vacation
camps. Over the summer, we
hosted 430 day campers,
including 30 on scholarships.
• In summer 2010, Stone Barns held three intensive training
workshops for more than 50 teachers from across Westchester County and the Hudson Valley. Most of these
teachers brought their students to the farm over the
course of the school year, but teacher workshops help
leverage our messages out to children beyond those
who visit the farm.

Raising
Awareness
Goal: build an active constituency committed to supporting community-based farming.
An informed consumer is a powerful one. An informed consumer can “vote” for sustainably and responsibly produced products with his or her wallet, thereby helping transform the marketplace and status quo agriculture. With every purchase we
make – or elect not to make – we can help advance a healthy and sustainable food system, one grounded in our communities
and a vibrant environment.
That’s why showing the public what sustainable, local food production looks like up close is an essential part of the Stone
Barns mission. Through our programs and tours, classes, lectures, expert-led workshops and opportunities for hands-on
farm experiences, we seek to have an impact far beyond the farm itself. When consumers know to ask for locally and sustainably grown meat and vegetables; when they demand nutritious foods that benefit their health as well as the health of the
land, water and wildlife, we can expect to see an increase in sustainable and productive farmland and a decrease in childhood diabetes and obesity.
“Students and families come to Stone Barns, and they spend the day engaging in programs, talking to farmers, having
lunch. They leave having had a very pleasurable experience that they want to repeat. One can do that by going to the
farmers market, planting a garden, joining a CSA – there are many ways to get involved. But you first need to be inspired
by a place and an experience – and for thousands of visitors every year, Stone Barns is that place.”
Dan Barber, Executive Chef/Co-owner, Blue Hill at Stone Barns

Volunteer Profile: Margaret Moulton
Margaret Moulton is one of dozens of volunteers who help make
Stone Barns programs possible. A freelance photographer and
grant writer from Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., Margaret has been
volunteering since 2005, organizing and photographing merchandise in the Farm Store, working at Harvest Fest and currently leading school group tours of the farm twice a month. For thousands of
visitors each year, she is the face of Stone Barns – a treasured interpreter of our mission and work. Stone Barns has become a family
affair for Margaret, whose daughters attended summer camps (one
is still a counselor), and who frequently brings family and out-oftown friends to the farm for hikes and tours.
What do you most look forward to in your volunteer work?
I just love being at Stone Barns. No matter what I do, I leave in
a good mood. Staff are generous with their knowledge, and I

continue to learn things about sustainable agriculture, cooking or
my home garden on almost every visit.
What do visitors most often ask you?
Why doesn’t the farm have horses? Is it an organic farm?
What most makes an impression on them?
When I talk about sustainability and how Stone Barns is not organic,
but beyond organic. I like to tell them about how keeping the soil
healthy is the most important thing. For school kids, this translates
into talking about how poop is the animals’ gift to the farmers. For
adults it means a discussion about organic certification, raising
happy, healthy livestock, and crop and livestock rotation.
Highlights of the past year:
• First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a special event at
Stone Barns for the spouses of Chiefs of State and Heads
of Government participating in the United Nations General
Assembly, in September. They shared their field trip to the
farm with third graders from the JFK Magnet School, in
Port Chester, N.Y., and Pocantico Hills Central School. Mrs.
Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign is a nationwide effort to
focus the country on the epidemic of childhood obesity.
• Fred Kirschenmann, president of the Center’s Board of
Directors, published a highly acclaimed book, Cultivating
an Ecological Conscience: Essays from a Farmer Philosopher
(see p. 13). The Natural Resources Defense Council also
awarded Fred its annual “Growing Green Award,” recognizing him for engaging with chefs, scientists, growers
and corporate leaders to build local food systems that
work in harmony with nature and human health.
• In October, Harvest Fest 2010 drew 2,500 people to the
farm. Proceeds support scholarships for farm camp,
school programs and young farmer training.
• Staff and board members spoke about the Center’s work
and sustainable agriculture at 34 conferences
and meetings around the country, including
biodynamic and community-supported agriculture conferences,
those hosted by Yale and Tufts
universities, the USDA’s
Agricultural Outlook
Forum, and the meeting
of the Environmental
Grantmakers
Association.

Around the Farm
and In the Kitchen
Our four-season produce and livestock operation is now in its eighth season of experimentation, demonstration and learning.
All of the growing methods employed at Stone Barns are designed to improve the taste and nutritional content of meats and
produce without harming the forests, soils and streams that surround and support the farm. Our farmers have created a
working farm whose highly integrated methods of composting and crop and animal rotation enrich soils and reduce energy
consumption and environmental impact. From growing fruits and vegetables, to raising poultry and pigs, to returning the
wastes of both to the soil, our farming is beyond organic – a resilient, self-renewing system that doesn’t use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or other inputs, and that works to build the health of the soil and its ability to produce nutritious food.
Stone Barns is an authentic farm-to-table enterprise, with more than half of the farm’s produce and meats supplying Blue
Hill at Stone Barns, the innovative and award-winning on-site restaurant. The remainder is sold through our seasonal
Farm Market and is used in our educational programs with visitors.
A critical part of the Stone Barns community, Blue Hill staff teaches in-the-kitchen classes featuring seasonal ingredients
and participates in weekly farm chores alongside Stone Barns farmers. And when Stone Barns partners with seed companies
and academic institutions to test new seeds for desirable qualities such as vigor, flavor and marketability, Blue Hill
chefs participate in these experiments by providing valuable information about which new crops will best satisfy
the taste buds of consumers.

“By working closely with seed breeders, we get to look through their seed closets and find amazing stuff that’s not out there
in the marketplace – genetic traits that bring out a plant’s flavor and resistance and yield.”
Jack Algiere, Vegetable Farm Manager
“The more you work with different species of animals, the more you become aware of their instinctual needs. When
I was younger, I’d get frustrated, trying to get them to do what I wanted them to do. But now I realize that every
species is hard-wired in different ways, and that’s something that I want to understand and accommodate in raising
these animals.”
Craig Haney, Livestock Farm Manager
“We want to be a glass window in everything we do. For one, we don’t want to sugar-coat anything. But second, because
we’re teaching these practices, it’s important that we plan for every input in our composting and waste management,
because those have impacts on the soil and streams.”
Gregg Twehues, Compost Farm Manager

for diners.
Highlights of the past year:
• Seed trials: Roughly half of the produce grown on the farm
is part of a seed trial. We take seeds developed by seed companies and universities and grow them out to test vegetable
varieties for their vigor, flavor, disease- and drought-resistance
and marketability. Trials play a vital role in building a more
diverse, flavorful and resilient food system. Among the
seeds “trialed” at Stone Barns this past year are a purple
snow pea, a grape tomato, a red onion from Europe and
a hull-less seed summer squash. Primary partners include
Cornell University and Holland-based Bejo Seeds.
• New animal varieties: Stone Barns continues to seek and
acquire livestock breeds that help diversify our farm operation
and the menu at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. New additions
to the farm this past year include two Ossabaw boars, a
breed that arrived on the Georgia coast with explorers in the
1500s and that are today prized by chefs for their abundant
body fat. Geese were also a new addition to our farming
operation. Because they eat grass and insects while fertilizing
pastures, geese are an efficient part of a grass-based farming rotation.
• Biochar production: With the acquisition of a special steel
drum called a gasifier, we began to convert biomass – anything from tree branches to paper plates – into biochar, a
pure form of carbon that is free of the volatile chemicals
and ash found in charcoal. Currently, the chefs at Blue Hill
are using it as an alternative to charcoal on the grill. But
soon it may be used to enhance soil quality, and its byproduct gas may be used to power portions of the Center.
• New greenhouse study: To help small and mid-sized farms
expand their ability to grow produce throughout the seasons
and increase their income, Stone Barns has launched a greenhouse viability study. We are documenting and analyzing
our own greenhouse operations to develop a model that
other farmers can use. The transferable case study will
assist growers in developing ecologically healthy and economically sustainable four-season greenhouse operations.

Now Blooming: Ideas and programs coming into season in 2011
• Tomorrow’s Harvest is a four-part speaker series exploring how our changing agricultural landscape
shapes what we’ll be eating in the future. The series features Bill McKibben, environmentalist and
founder of 350.org, Andy Revkin of The New York Times and Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, among several other thought-leaders in the field.
• Stone Barns is participating in a long-term study to gather data on changes in the timing of plant
pollination by bees. The changes are measured by the amount of honey stored in the farm’s beehives
over the growing seasons. The study is designed to give on-the-ground data to NASA scientists to
help verify what they’re seeing on satellite imagery: that Earth is turning greener, earlier, each spring.
• Our new Youth Corps project will bring high school students from the nearby Tarrytown school
district to the farm for paid after-school jobs two days a week, beginning in fall 2011. The sciencebased curriculum is designed to help students learn the principles of sustainable farming, and their
responsibilities offer direct involvement in the farm’s day-to-day operations.
• Stone Barns is partnering with AgSquared to test a new online platform designed to help small
and mid-size farms track crop production, field conditions, and storage and sale of the season’s
harvest. The tool will bring essential business planning and management to small farmers both
in the U.S. and abroad, so that they can better assess their operations and make improvements in
future seasons.

For more than 30 years, Fred Kirschenmann has explored the ethical and
practical principles of sustainable agriculture. An accomplished theologian,
philosopher, farmer and president of our Board of Directors, Kirschenmann
is a dynamic leading voice in the dialogue about the challenges of modern
agriculture.
In 2010, he published a collection of his writings, Cultivating an Ecological
Conscience: Essays from a Farmer Philosopher (Constance L. Falk, editor;
The University Press of Kentucky). The book is part of a series devoted to
the exploration and articulation of a new agrarianism – the comprehensive
worldview that appreciates the intimate and practical connections that exist
between humans and the earth.
The following is an excerpt from his essay, “A Transcendent Vision,” originally
published in 1991.
Excerpt from
Cultivating an
Ecological
Conscience:
Essays from a
Farmer Philosopher
I am a third-generation Russian German farmer; my ancestors have
deep ties to the land. . . .
My father, who is 81, has this fierce determination characteristic of
Russian Germans. His lifelong goal has always been to be the best
wheat farmer in Stutsman County [North Dakota], no matter what
it takes. Two factors have always pushed him: to improve the farm
every year, transforming the prairie sod into farmland that can yield
50 bushels of wheat to the acre; and to care for the land, leaving it in
better condition every season.
These two visions have clashed at times, but my father has come to
understand and fully support the concepts behind sustainable agriculture. He takes great delight in seeing the earthworm return and in
the noticeably improved soil structure. . . .
I appreciated the personal space growing up on the farm, and I
always enjoyed the solitude of getting on a tractor and being close
to the earth. The richness of the soil, especially when worked in the
spring, had a profound influence on me. My dad’s near-obsession
with preventing our land from eroding was ingrained into me as
a child. As I grew older, he passed on to me his sense of wonder
for the miracle of the soil’s productivity, and a profound sense of
responsibility to care for it.
Traditional farmers have been role models for me. They still subscribe
to an older ethic and never bought into the high-tech, quick-fix approach to agriculture. These farmers also have been role models of
religious faith for me. Like the Old Testament prophet Amos, they
radiate a profound sense of place and a consuming passion for caring
for the land.
Wendell Berry, one of the leading philosophers of the sustainable
agriculture movement, has noted how a sense of place is tied to the
biblical admonition that a people who possess no vision will perish.
This vision is not a transcendent, disconnected flash of insight;
rather, it’s a vision of being rooted in one’s own place and the sense
of responsibility to care for that place. It’s the just vision of the
Hebrews, the vision of a people having their own vineyard or sitting
under their own fig tree. . . .
The philosophy of sustainable agriculture is underpinned by a theological understanding that the resource base and environment must be
protected. Consider the Genesis account of Creation and the Garden
of Eden story. Both of these make it clear that man and woman are
placed in the garden to service and take care of it. The very notion of sustainability strikes me as a transcendent concept. It defies easy definition
and finite language, as does any transcendent concept. A universally
acceptable definition is impossible. It is a goal, a vision, a journey.
