The Clothesline: Whitten Family Farm, Winthrop, NY

The Clothesline: Food, Fiber, Air, and Soil, an installation by artist Brenda Baker, highlights the hard work done in our community by people who work in agriculture. The installation is up through the summer of 2024 and made up of hundreds of pieces of used work attire donated by agricultural workers, which act as stand-ins for the unseen people whose labor produces the food we eat. Be immersed in the farmer's lives as you listen to their authentic stories.
Hear from Cherie Whitten from Whitten Family Farm in Winthrop, NY. On their farm, they produce a variety of meats, vegetables, berries, melons, and compost, repurposing food waste that wouldn't have been used elsewhere. Cherie encourages people to connect more closely with the land, highlighting that with dedication, one can evolve from a small garden bed to a backyard garden and eventually to a homestead, revitalizing an essential part of our heritage.
