Farming is a different enterprise entirely when it’s done near a city. Photographer Roddy Scheer has spent the past year documenting that life, and his new exhibit, “Agriculture on the Urban Fringe: Farming and Conservation in the Snoqualmie Valley” will open Sept. 20 at Novelty Hill-Januik Winery in Woodinville.
The exhibit (including the image on the left) will be on display through Nov. 1, but the opening night’s celebration will include music, food and wine from local “salmon-safe” farms and vineyard, and guided tours by Scheer. Cost: $35, benefiting Stewardship Partners and its Salmon Safe certification. For tickets, call Nikki Dunbar at the winery, 425-481-5502, x104.
And if you can’t make it, you can still feast your eyes on a few more of Scheer’s pictures below.

Beautiful photos! “Urban Fringe” — that’s just a perfect turn of phrase.
