| Sumario: | This article reports that with the help of Machado & Silvetti Associates of Boston, David Rockefeller and his daughter Peggy Dulany, have turned a complex of stone barns designed for the Rockefeller family by Grosvernor Atterbury in the early 1930s into the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. Here, a working farm for livestock, chickens, and vegetables, plus a learning facility and cultural center, now demonstrate to the public the advantages of local, community-based farming and environmentally sensitive agricultural practices. As an extra draw to the rustic complex, the center also includes a restaurant, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, run by the owners of the much acclaimed Blue Hill Restaurant in Greenwich Village.
