Valeriana, 57 years old, midwife, and Kevin Masback, 59 years old, joiner. They left New York 12 years ago to move to the suburbs in Nyack. “I came to New York as a teenager and lived there thirty years. I left New York because I wanted my children to go to a Steiner school. At that school, I was able to take beekeeping classes and since 10 years ago I take care of my hives. Now I help some young beekeepers in Brooklyn through advice. It’s wonderful what’s happening today; the young are very interested in organic farming and beekeeping also.”
