The Farm
Most Americans know little about where their food comes from or about the lives of the people who plant it, feed it, harvest it, and deliver it to market. The Farm -- produced in collaboration with five public radio stations -- will track the lives of five working farm families from across the country, using audio diaries and nonnarrated interviews, over a full cycle of the seasons. The Farm will be five one-hour documentaries, each about a single theme and including segments from all five families; and 20 features for All Things Considered, each about an event in life on the farm told by one person from one farming family.
