Guest columnists Jennifer Core and Claire Morenon: Immigrants — the heart of our local food system
07-09-2025 1:57 PM

By JENNIFER CORE and CLAIRE MORENON

Immigration crackdowns, and the resulting protests, have been at the center of the news for the past several weeks — this is a violent, divided moment centering around a highly divisive issue. It is also a sweet season in the Valley — the height of the growing season is just beginning, and farmers’ markets and farm stands are filling up.

A recent picture sent by a close friend of mine in Shelburne, and who wishes to remain anonymous, not only got my wheels turning, but also brought to me a moment of appreciation for the many pictures I receive from people throughout the region — simply in the sense of sharing what they see though a lens or an iPhone, sometimes in their own backyards!
