We’ve added some determinate tomato varieties this year. Determinate varieties typically stop growing after they reach two or three feet in height. They also tend to produce most of their fruit at about the same time. Indeterminate varieties, on the other hand, tend to grow and produce fruit throughout the season.  All of the tomatoes listed here are indeterminate unless specifically marked otherwise.

“Transition” opens November 26th

Exploring meaning and change through art

Jeffersonville artists Kevin Gref and Lucy Sardonia are featured in a holiday exhibit opening Saturday, November 26th at Domesticities at 3 pm. 

Kevin’s work in painted wood and mixed media is a complex adventure in shape and color which visually interprets words and their meaning.  Lucy works with a variety of materials as she explores and reimagines everyday scenes from her childhood in the Caribbean and our local landscapes.  The subtlety of color in Kevin’s work is complemented by the colorful portrayals of strength in nature and humans that Lucy has created.

 Born in the Dominican Republic, Lucy Sardonia immigrated to the US with her family at a young age. While in high school her talent was recognized by her art instructor who trained and encouraged her. Although she took incidental courses in art and fashion at Syracuse University she is primarily self-taught.

Kevin Gref received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree FA from the University of Buffalo, specializing in Sculpting.  After retiring from a career as a carpenter, he returned to his artwork with the opening of his studio Jeffersonville Steamworks in 2013 where he began to experiment with steam-bent white oak, cherry, and other hardwoods.  His work has appeared in group shows at the DVAA, Catskill Art Society as well as the Broadway production of Harold and Maude. Gref is presently working out of the studios of the late abstract painters Elizabeth Harms and Douglas Craft in the village of Jeffersonville.   The show can be seen through December 30th.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about the food, the company, the chance to share recipes and stories. The parade, Miracle on 34th Street, the football, the leftovers. The time to remember Thanksgivings gone by and to be grateful that the era of Tomato Aspic is over.

A time to reflect.   A time to be grateful.

As Henry Van Dyke said,

“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.
Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.
Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”

As we head into the holidays, we want to thank you for your support over the years.

It matters that you continue to support small, local businesses.

All of the statistics support the benefits of shopping locally, ranging from the dollars kept in the local economy to the strengthening of communities.

Thank you for keeping your money where your heart lives, supporting an economy of friends and neighbors, giving strength to the place we all love and call home.
