Out now! The March/April issue! 

A note from our editor, Mary Beth Lawlor:
March has a personality all its own. One day brings blue skies and daffodil optimism; the next, we’re squarely in mud season—boots by the door, air still sharp, spring not quite convincing. Early spring isn’t a glow-up. 
It’s a slow thaw. And that feels exactly right for a Health & Wellness issue. Instead of the expected yoga pose on our cover, we couldn’t resist this shot of @jason_doornick at @wearemotoriot in Kent. It makes us smile—and really, what’s healthier than that?

Inside, we meet extraordinary health and wellness leaders, including @drtaranarula , who has a new book out; massage therapist and birthworker @akwaba.massage.birth Amoin Chantal; and cosmetic acupuncturist @gotham_wellness Stefanie DiLibero. Musician @daniel.lauter  explores the restorative effects of singing bowls, while trainer @heidi.diedrich shares the essential equipment for building a simple, effective home gym. We take in the beauty created by artist and human rights activist @pamelatakiffphotography and spend time with Native American elder and educator  Darlene Kascak. We also share the remarkable story of @projectsage13a , which began in 1979 as a small volunteer effort at Sharon Hospital and has grown into a lifeline for thousands across our region.

Beyond wellness, we visit the new @cowboybutterbbq in New Milford, tour the design-forward @9academyct  guesthouse in Salisbury, explore Sullivan Farm’s hands-on agricultural education, and look at how classic car culture is fueling community across the Litchfield Hills. Enjoy!
South Farms surprised guests for their Friday supper club last week with an Asian inspired menu served family style in the lounge featuring passed hors d’oeuvres such as pork belly and kimchi gyoza followed by Korean beef short ribs and yellowfin tuna. Guests enjoyed a Yuzu, green tea and vodka specialty cocktail and custom table settings by Litchfield Supply and Sarah Worden Natural Design, as well as paired wines.
