Newsletter #5: Hello from Amara Farm
It's official. I arrived on Amara Farm on April 15th to start my new life as a farmhand / filmmaker.
Newsletter #4: The Hands that Feed Us starts filming in 9 days
I'm back. I'm still planning to do everything I said: Make a documentary and take it across the country to raise awareness about the difficult finances of farming. And I'm starting in 9 days.
Newsletter #3: The Lands that Feed Us - Why Farmers Can't Afford Land
