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.
