Father’s Day Farm Fete

Sunday, June 15, 2014

Sunday was Father’s Day and unfortunately instead of spending time with my pops I was working. To start my day I headed down to the West End neighborhood of Atlanta to spend time photographing the Patchwork City Farm’s Father’s Day Farm Fete. Six Atlanta area chefs, including Natasha Brewley and Chris Lineberger, had prepared amazing food for around 150 fathers and families as they listened to live music, participated in field day style games, took garden tours of all the fresh produce at Patchwork City, and in general enjoyed the day together. It was a reminder of how important dads are to the family unit. I definitely remember and appreciate all that mine has done for me over the years!
