Christopher Irion photographs the organic community

Portraits of Vermont Organic Community by Christopher Irion
All things organic are of interest to many Vermonters, and none more than local organic
produce. Farmer’s Markets, Farm to Schools programs, community gardens, Community
Supported Agriculture (CSAs),Community Supported Restaurants (CSRs) all have deep
roots in the state.
In recognition of the network of growers and consumers who make this growing econom-
ic force possible, The Putney Food Co-op, the second oldest food co-op in the country,
commissioned Christopher Irion to make portraits of this community using his PhotoBooth
portable studio, to be displayed throughout the store.
The producers were shot in color to better show off the fruits of their labor and the por-
traits of the consumers were converted to black and white.
