Industrial Business Portrait

Industrial portrait of a North Carolina pharmaceutical worker. From a project promoting business and workers in high tech industries in the state.

I stopped by my neighbors, Goat Lady Dairy, south of Greensboro yesterday to chat and pick up some goat cheese, and photographed Steve and Lee Tate as they were planting early vegetables before the rain set in. The Tates use their garden to produce fresh organic vegetables for the farm brunches and dinners they put on at their dairy. In addition to the cheese I picked up, Steve let me try some of their fresh goat milk yogurt and it is definitely a winner. Steve an Lee are both wonderful people and are advocates of locally grown food, and they possess a world of knowledge on sustainable agriculture. They are leaders in the local slow food movement.

Randolph County American Gothic

Portraits

Weekends on our farm can sometimes be quite entertaining. Neighbors Chris and Cathy were in need of a rooster for their flock, and since we had extras, we offered them one. After about thirty minutes of six adults pursuing one small chicken, we were successful.

Twins

Portraits

Identical twins Roxanne and Rachel visited the farm Saturday for an afternoon outing with my son Devin. They are taking part in a nutrition study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My son Devin works as their host.

Farrier

Horses, Portraits

This morning our farrier (a person that shoes horses) Charlie Stone came by and shod our 28 year old mustang horse Rienzi. Charlie has been shoeing Rienzi since my wife adopted her from the U S Bureau of Land Management some 27 years ago. Charlie’s care is one reason Rienzi’s feet are in such good shape still. That and the fact that she has never worked a day in her life.
