This past Tuesday an small film crew arrived to shoot footage for an independent documentary at our farm.  They are working on a film about the state of farming here in Connecticut.  This film will be a companion piece to their earlier documentary, "The Farmer's Voice."  We'll try to post any footage that makes it way back to us before the film is complete. 

During the filming, several folks came by to be interviewed.  This included one of our CSA customers, a woman from across town who allows the use of her sugarbush during the maple sap run, and another farmer from the other side of town who lives on one of the original farms in the town of Scotland.

We had a great time showing the crew around, answering questions, and eating freshly picked watermelon!  All the kids on the road came over to sample the sweet melon after Violet and Liev picked it on camera.

Plans are in the works for additional visits to shoot footage during maple sugaring season as well as in the late Spring when all the new livestock "arrives" at the farm.
