The Spring Feast is a celebration of the spring season and the abundance of fresh, locally grown food. It brings together renowned chefs, farmers, and food enthusiasts to showcase the flavors and techniques that highlight the farm-to-table movement. The event typically features a multi-course dinner prepared by guest chefs using ingredients sourced directly from the farm and the surrounding Hudson Valley region.

Guests at the Spring Feast can expect an exquisite dining experience that emphasizes seasonal and sustainable cuisine. The menu often includes a variety of dishes that showcase the best produce, meats, and dairy products available during the springtime.

In addition to the meal, the Spring Feast may also include educational components such as farm tours, workshops, and presentations that explore the importance of sustainable food systems and the work being done at Stone Barns Center.

Video Production at Iona University

Working on a new video for the alumni association at Iona University. It was a fairly involved setup for a speaking head video, but a second camera and backup audio feels like the best way to get the best final results.

As a certified drone pilot, I’m always looking for more ways to use my new Part 107 license. Documenting this new college campus for Iona is a great opportunity to fly my DJI Mavic Air 2s over the Bronxville campus in Westchester, New York. Drone Photography is just another great way to document new angles for clients and flying my drone brings me back to my childhood love of remote control cars.

The guys at Spare Food were kind enough to ask me to document their lunch at The Parlor. It was Chef Adam that recommended this incredible Westcheser Pizza joint back when I used to work with Stone Barns.

If you want to try some Spare Food Tonic, give these flavors a try at Decicco or Fresh Direct - Lemon & Ginger. Cucumber & Lime. Blueberry & Ginger. Peach & Turmeric.
