Good Morning!

• In the 18 years the North Fork Reform Synagogue had been holding its annual North Fork Foodie Tour of 20 farms and food purveyors here, it had never rained all day — until this Sunday. But that didn't stop crowds from turning out to hear from local farmers about their growing practices and the trials of raising livestock, to hear how to make delicious recipes out of fresh local ingredients from Slow Food East End Chef Gail Watson, and to hear from speakers on topics ranging from encouraging students to grow food in school gardens to beekeeping, coffee roasting and no-till farming.
