On The Water
By Jason Houston
How we feed ourselves is one of the most critical and universally relevant considerations we face. Six years ago, Jason Houston began photographing the farms and farmers in western New England. His goal, promote a food system where accountability, respect and relationship transcend anonymity, plastic wrapping and labels. The Good Food feature draws heavily from Houston’s “FARMER: A collection of photographs.” This photo is from his “Carts” collection.

Houston’s images of farmers and farm hands have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, TIME, Orion, The Wall Street Journal, Organic Gardener and will be on exhibit at Yale University in New Haven, CT, April 12–30, 2006 and at Spike Gallery in New York, NY, June 14–July 29, 2006.
