Treats from the Terroir Project

Since November, I have been participating in Blue Metropolis Foundation educational project called Treats from the Terroir.  A food writer and a photographer were teamed up with an anglophone classroom in Quebec to explore the idea of terroir and to pick a food producer to visit, write about and photograph.
The students' will get to see their work in a book published by the Foundation during the Literary Festival.

It has been rewarding and I am sad to see it come to a finish.  I worked with 2 classes, a grade 3/4 class at Onslow Elementary school in Quyon, QC and a junior highschool class from Montreal.  Both classrooms came back with some dynamite images but, of course, you'll have to buy the book to see them!  Here are a few outtakes of my own from the Onslow school's visit to a cider mill (minus the kids' faces of course because of model releases, but trust me they were there!)
