The vibrant farm-to-table movement has reached up from Lake Champlain into the valleys between the Adirondack High Peaks. The recent article in the Adirondack Explorer profiles young farmers who got their start in the Champlain Valley taking their energy and expertise up into the mountains. Talk about farms with a view!
