Just completed the first attempt at a demo video to illustrate the basic idea of the documentary. A long way to go, but that should be the fun of it! Watch this space, we will update the blog and the page as we move forward.

We got all the equipment organized by late 2013 and some of the necessary paperwork established as well. The family is excited about the prospect of helping to prepare a documentary that portrays the family farm emerging from the old traditions into the new context of the digital age, warming temperatures, competitive industrial farming, as well as the satisfaction and work of trying to maintain a family farm. This farm is both typical of southern Ontario, and also not so typical because it is a real mix of row crops and animal husbandry.

We are looking forward to the new year and a more deliberate effort to document the work and life on a family farm.
