As a personal passion Lydia believes in the benefits of whole foods and community supported agriculture, incorporating these beliefs into her work. She has attended and worked with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City and is honored to be profiled in the school's 2010 program catalog.
No stranger to the area, Lydia spent every summer of her youth in the Catskill mountains with her family, several of them as a camper and counselor enjoying overnights at Devil's Kitchen and Hunter Mountain, canoe trips down the Delaware and of course tubing on the Esopus River.
These days you can find Lydia, happily, based in New Paltz, busy putting her event planning experience and resources to use all over the beautiful Hudson Valley.
