Remember That Album?



Last year in May I mentioned in this newsletter than we recorded an album. Many of you have asked about it over the ensuing months, and we are proud to announce that we finally have a final product to share!

Our band is called Ploughman's Lunch, a name suggested to us by our friend Mary-Nell many years ago and we even have a beer named after us at the Ausable Brewing Co. We have played music together for over a decade and play original music but never had any recordings to share. 

After a winter gig at the Water Hole in Saranac Lake we were approached by a local recording engineer named Les Parker, who had grant funds to record new artists. We started putting together a list of songs for our first album and practicing for our first try at recording our music.

We spent an incredible series of afternoons at 22 pawn just down the road from the farm recording our music in a live setting with Les and his arsenal of microphones. At times it was blissful listening back to the music we had created, other times it was exhausting and disheartening to hear your mistakes.

Over the next year we grew together and learned from one another as a group of men trying to create something together. 



Ploughman's Lunch is Jay Fiegl, Chad Vogel, Nick Gulli, Nick Bailey and myself Nathan Henderson. We are proud to announce the release of our first self titled album.

What is Subscribe + Save and how can I help?

You may have noticed a new option at checkout? Here's what we've been thinking: When we asked ourselves, “How can we create a true win/win for our customers and our farm?” the answer was clear: build long-term relationships with the families who trust us to put food on their tables. That’s where our new Subscribe & Save program comes in.

What was the Reber Rock Retreat?

Another transition was also marked a few weeks ago by our now annual transformational retreat. Over the last few years we’ve been taking steps towards becoming your trusted source for food AND health. Health, and sensation based mindset coaching specifically, became a passion over ours following Nathan’s herniated disk and Racey’s Cervical cancer diagnosis a few years ago.
