| Steve from Musterfield farm talking with Paula and Greg |
Well, Geoff, Paula, Greg and I set
off for a three day adventure to photograph and video tape some of the diverse
farmers and producers we feature here at the Co-op. We called it “Thirty Farms
in Three Days”, although the actual number of farms we visited was twenty
six. From apiaries, cider mills
and backyard hoop houses to multi generational farms, vegetable ranches and
large dairies we sought to capture on film the stories of local diversity and
stewardship that represents farming in New Hampshire. Although we were exhausted by our third twelve hour day traveling
long distances in a small car, I know we were all impacted in a powerful way by
everyone we spent time with. I
wish you all could go on a similar trip to see the amount of dedication,
spirit, intelligence, vision and hard work that goes into a running a small
farm.
The footage we gathered has multiple applications for our
store. Some of the photos are
destined for the walls of the Co-op in banner form-sort of a farmer “hall of
fame”, so that customers can connect a face to their purchase. Many other photos are destined for the
photo bank in our Marketing Department to be used in newsletters, blogs,
podcasts and other web based applications.
In short there were too many
experiences and fascinating things we learned on this trip to list in a single
blog so please return often for updates and new photos. From Farm 2 Fork.
