The Companies We Keep
America runs on companies …And, not surprisingly, the business of companies is big business in and of itself! We introduce you to three corporate leaders - who are each community locals.
Sharon Prince & Grace Farms
It’s been ten years since Sharon Prince established Grace Farms on an 80 acre property in the Northwest corner of New Canaan…and ten years later Grace Farms has proven itself to be a revolutionary cultural institution providing unique benefits to its surrounding communities - and innovative solutions for the world.
18 Under 18
In every generation, there are young people who defy expectations, proving that age is no barrier to talent, vision, or impact. Our 18 Under 18 honors scholars, athletes, entrepreneurs, artists, and activists who are already shaping their communities, and going above and beyond.
New Canaan Chamber Music
The term ‘chamber music’ is derived from the French ‘chambre’, to connote that this was the kind of music performed inside the private rooms, or chambres, of the day’s elite. So a certain intimacy is inherent in the term and in the form
Pound Ridge Masterpiece
Lisa Kroll is exceptionally bright, has become an expert at everything she’s ever done, and is, to put it nicely, extremely peripatetic. It’s almost as if, as soon as she achieves excellence in one endeavor, she becomes immediately focused on the next.
The Daytons
They live in Waccabuc in a Modern Cotswold Cottage they call BUCLAND. Renea recently sold HAYFIELDS Cafe, which she developed into the go-to neighborhood stop for a bite, and the host of an impressive once-a-month classic car gathering. Duncan is a real estate developer, a retired but renowned race car driver, a respected exotic car collector, and a stalwart of the community. They’re always smiling, have lots of friends, and might just be the ‘funnest’ couple around.
Judy & Michael Steinhardt
MICHAEL STEINHARDT is a renowned Wall Street pioneer, has been a shaper of the American political landscape. He’s also passionate about his residence in Mt. Kisco, called Iroki - Japanese for ‘garden of surprises’ - which is complete with a zoo, one of the largest displays of tree varieties in the U.S., and years of collected follies.
Absolutely Inspirational Ali Truwit
A year after losing her leg in a shark attack, Ali Truwit won two Paralympic silver medals in Paris and launched a foundation supporting girls in need of prosthetics, water safety, and the Paralympic movement. She’s been featured on national TV, at global events—and now in the swimsuit issue Sports Illustrated too!
David & Nicki Pogue
David Pogue is the kind of famous where just about everyone recognizes him as a somebody, while it might take a minute to realize that he’s the seven- time Emmy winning correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning who — in 35 stories each year — explains anything and everything that’s complicated.
Marissa Winikour & Judah Miller
Marissa Winokur is a star of stage and screen, most famous for having played Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway production of Hairspray, and Judah Miller is a comedy writer who most recently wrote and was the showrunner for the television series called Bupkis. Together, Marissa and Judah are amongst the elite of ‘Hollywood’ power couples… and in 2021, they bought a house in Bedford!
Martha Stewart
2024 18U18
Bedford & New Canaan Magazine's fifth annual 18 Under 18 section is always the highlight of our September/October Education Issue… and every year we are more and more impressed with the achievements of the 18 selected students - and with the quality of the hundreds of nominees entered. We have an incredibly difficult time narrowing down the list because of the intriguing paths that so many different students have selected. From Singers and Dancers to a Mountain Climber, Engineers and Activists, a Filmmaker, and even a Speed Cuber... we are particularly excited by this class!
Congrats to this year’s B&NC 18 Under 18! We hope you'll enjoy the well-earned plaudits of the community.
Rivay
Bedford-native, Jon Ruti, and his wife, Katie, bring Rivay home—an elevated, small-batch men’s clothing brand blending rugged sophistication with timeless style—now celebrating its flagship store’s first anniversary.
Warren & Stefani Haynes
Warren Haynes is most famous for being a member of the Allman Brothers, playing with The Dead, leading his band Gov’t Mule, and a whole lot of other collaborative and solo work…but around the B&NC MAG area, Warren and his wife, Stefani, and their son Hudson, are just…proud B&NC locals!
Bedford Royalty
Paul Bluhdorn and Anni de Saint Phalle are something of a throwback to the European nobility of the 18th and 19th Centuries. Popular amongst the Martha Stewart set, but relatively unknown - until now - by most others, they live in a residence ‘fit for a king’, and queen, on one of Bedford’s finest estates, called Blue Meadows.
To The Nines in New Canaan
Jordan and Andrew Terner are delightful. They’re entertaining and enjoyable, family-focused, and fun. They moved into their fabulous farmhouse, across the street from the Glass House, in 2017. And their daughter, Cybil, was born in 2023. …They are an ‘it’ couple in New Canaan these days!
Natasha Bedingfield
Natasha Bedingfield is the chart-topping singer/songwriter best known for catchy tunes like Love Like This, Strip Me, Freckles, These Words, Wild Horses, Neon Lights, and of course her massive hit singles Unwritten and Pocketful of Sunshine. She’s also become well known as an advocate for LGBTQ rights and the environment.
A New Chief in Town
Of course, being only 33, just about everything about Graham Glauber screams youthful enthusiasm like a fire engine’s siren. He’s the ‘Doogie Howser M.D.’ of the new Bedford Fire House. And he’s a hometown hero, who’s a real life advertisement for the virtue of being a volunteer.
Slammin’ Sammy Swank
From tennis star to comedic tik tok sensation, this Bedford native is center-stage
The Fascinating Fishers
Emily is an award-winning photojournalist and Murray is a leading conservationist in the United States. Together they are a Bedford Power Couple.
