Vote on the Cover Image for our Coming Fall Issue

We’re currently debating what to put on the cover of our Fall issue that hits the streets next week. What provocative autumnal choices are we considering, you might ask? Well, we’re at a standstill in the discussion. Contenders include photographs by Lindsay Morris and Randee Daddona of the red grape crush at Channing Daughters Winery, Chris Wines’s one-man dairy on Sound Avenue in Aquebogue, a CSA pickup from Quail Hill, community gardening in Riverhead that is part of Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Healthy Places project, Peconic Community School students at the Golden Earthworm farm, and mouth-watering roasting herbs and crusty Blue Duck Bakery bread from a dinner party at East End Hospice president Priscilla Ruffin’s home.
So, we thought we’d put the query to those who know us best: Our readers. Which one of the above covers are you digging? What image say fall on the East End? Let us know in the comments below. We can’t guarantee we’ll agree with you, but we’ll at least consider your feelings!

The lovely picture of the well-cared-for cow and earnest young man working his own dairy. There’s something rich and special about someone caring for his cows, and working to provide fresh dairy for our tables. And the cow looks truly beautiful!
Peconic Community School is adorable!
Peconic Community for me
Peconic Community School the WINNER
Creative nurturing environment
Celebrates diversity and instills respect for others
Plants the seeds for lifelong learning
The Bread of course.. It starts and ends w/ a fresh loaf of bread, doesn’t it..! It Edible East End, and its a beautiful coverworthy picture.
Bread from the Blue Duck Bakery, You can almost smell it, can’t you now..! Bread is where it begins and ends… and It’s a great photo and coverworthy.
I love the picture of the hand against the Dornfelder grapes. BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for your amazing publication. I love reading it.
I like the ones with the people in them: either the kids in the garden, next to the mural,
or the csa pickup at quail hill….
1-cow, 2-bread, 3-grapes in 1st shot
My vote is for the Channing Daughters wine crush picture.
The loaf of bread is 1st and 2nd the grapes, keeping it simple.
I love Randee Daddona’s photo of the Peconic Community School children in the garden. So beautiful, simple, and thought provoking!
It’s a toss between the cow picture and the one with the kids, both by Randee Daddona. The composition of both of these pictures is great, especially how the kids are seemingly “budding” from the ground. Makes me think of the future of sustainability and teaching our young. Such a hard choice!
The Bread cover of course. What goes better with fall harvest foods than a crusty loaf of bread, mmmm
