If you’ve been traveling the up-Island farm stand circuit, I’m sure you’ve noticed – and hopefully tasted – those beautiful and delicious vegetables at the Beetlebung Farm farm stand on Middle Road. Or maybe you’ve seen the eye-popping Mokum carrots, that stunning Reine des Glaces (“Ice Queen”) lettuce or the unusual white Itachi cucumbers at the farmers’ market. Either way, it’s likely you may have wondered who (and what) might be the secret to growing these exceptional vegetables.
The who are Kate Woods and Nick Doherty, the new co-managers of Beetlebung Farm who arrived on the Island in February. And they have dream résumés. Both of them are veterans of Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture in Tarrytown, New York, having worked a combined six-plus years on the farming side of this renowned nonprofit educational and culinary mecca – but not always at the same time.

Half of the IPCC Scenarios to Limit Warming Don’t Work
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change showcased 50 scenarios to limit global warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial temperatures. A new study finds that only half of those scenarios are realistic.

Through the 2015 Paris Agreement, nearly 200 state parties collectively aspired to limit global warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. Even compared to 2°C of warming, meeting this goal would significantly curtail the extent of heat waves and other extremes induced by rising temperatures. But by 2017, the world had already reached 1°C above preindustrial levels and is projected to hit 1.5°C in 2040 with the current pace of warming.
