June 1, 2004: So
you want to be a farmer, do you? It’s a good bet, then,
that a look at the sobering and delightful video You want
to do what? Farming! will motivate you to get moving
on your dream, have you thinking twice, or perhaps a little
bit of both.
Featuring NewFarm.org writers and 20-year CSA veterans George
and Melanie Devault, as well as four other farmers and farming
couples around Pennsylvania, this 15-minute video offers real
advice and shares some of the real rewards and challenges
of running a small farm.
The film was the brainchild of videographer, farmer, and
PASA board member Brian Moyer. It premiered at the 13th Annual
PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture)
Conference last winter to laughter, some tears, and overall
rave reviews.
