Join us at our February book club to discuss Heaven and Earth: The Last Farmers of the North Fork

Featuring a special appearance by the author, Steve Wick.

Long Island’s North Fork is one of the oldest farming communities in the US, going back to its settlement as an English colony in the 17^th century. In this book, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Steve Wick explores that rich history. Written in 1996, the book includes first-hand accounts from descendants of the first English settlers who still farmed out there. These interviews, combined with Wick’s meticulous historical research, paint a robust picture of a centuries-old way of life and the challenges it faces in modern times.

Registrants can pick up a copy of the book at the Northport Library Reference Desk.

Free Event | All Ages Welcome

Refreshments will be served. This event will take place at Northport Books, 127 Main Street, Northport.
