Incorporating the Celery Farm and Screech Owl Companion blogs
VIDEO: Celery Farm Memories
I produced this video earlier this year, and thought I would present it again with a little new editing and the newer blog address as we approach the big "Stiles and Lillian Thomas Day" festivities.
The video is of a remarkable poem by Patricia L. Cooper, who grew up here when the Celery Farm was really a pair of working celery farms. Many of the photos in the video were taken way back then.
The music is by the incredible Hunger Mountain Boys.
If you want to understand the Celery Farm’s past, this is a good place to start.

This is an amazing and important piece of oral history–and a beautiful piece of audio and video production! The voice of the original author makes it ring true. The music of the Hunger Mountain Boys adds to the authenticity. The whole thing has that “Ken Burns” flavor.
