First Essex Blog Giveaway Winner

*Greenhorns: The Next Generation of American Farmers*

Congratulations to the winner of the first Essex on Lake Champlain Blog Giveaway: Thomas Flanagan! He won a copy of Greenhorns: 50 Dispatches from the New Farmers’ Movement.

Greenhorns is a collection of personal essays from the front lines of the back-to-farming movement sweeping the country. Handsome book. Great essays. But the real clincher? It’s a flip book. Allow the pages to flip through your thumb and fingers while watching the bottom corner of the page and enjoy a seed-to-seedling animation. A small bean seed sprouts, germinates, and becomes a young bean plant. (Essex on Lake Champlain)

When asked why he followed our newsletter Flanagan said:

My in-laws live in Westport and we have been coming up to the North Shore for about thirty five years. I love to cycle and the area around Essex is the best place for bicycling in the world. I feel like an official resident. Who knows in a few years I may indeed be that.
