The Heart of Farming

Rebecca forwarded me this link, which is a new monthy online series highlighting different farms, farmers, and their relationship to their work. It combines, images, music, and the farmers’ own words to tell a story that’s short, but deep.

And… it’s completely, utterly stunning.

Often these types of multimedia, online efforts fall short, for a variety of different reasons. But here, the presentation is clean and focused, and the features are concise (it’ll only take a couple minutes to watch) and powerful.

Kudos to the Organic Valley Coop and artist Carrie Branovan, who collaborated on this project!
