My Favorite Celery Farm Video
All the recent snow reminded me of this video — A fond look back at the Celery Farm Natural Area when it consisted of working farms, plus some sweet childhood memories.
It features Patricia Cooper reading her poem "Layers of Memories," about the old days of the celery farms in Allendale.
The video includes nifty archival images and music by the Hunger Mountain Boys.
