These are some images from a profile I photographed of Dan Sauer, a local farmer’s market vendor. The story focused on Sauer’s decision to give up his job as head chef at the Outermost Inn, one of the Island restaurants (he’d also worked in some big-name restaurants in NYC), and instead farm crops in his backyard. He and his wife are hoping to get a permanent storefront at some point in the future, but for now are concentrating on the twice-weekly farmer’s market, sales to restaurants (naturally), and continuing to do some cooking for private functions.
Homegrown shitake mushrooms! Who knew?
