On Zweck's Farm

In the modern world of agribusiness and factory farms, some family farms survive, and even thrive. Photographer Jane Gabrilove has spent the last two years photographing Zweck’s Farm, a Centennial Farm on the western edge of Longmont. An exhibit of her photographs, On Zweck’s Farm, opens July 19 and runs through August 24, 2008.

Gabrilove’s photographs record the richness of the land and its products. Bright red tomatoes, vibrant carrots, rainbow chard, and luscious raspberries provide mouth-watering evidence of the farm’s success. Wildlife coexists with agriculture, and more than a century of history permeates the landscape.

Visitors to On Zweck’s Farm will see color photographs that document each season in the life of this small modern farm, plus farm and beekeeping equipment.

The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday 9 am to 5 pm, Wednesday 9 am to 8 pm, and Sunday 1 to 5 pm. Closed Monday. Admission is free. Call 303-651-8374 for information.
