Family Farming for Five Generations

From the filmmaker:

Abbott Farm has been in the Abbott Family since the Civil War. The farm has seen quite a few changes over the years, and is in the midst of completing the latest change that includes a little bit of Agro-entertainment. But one question still remains: will Warren be the last Abbott to truly call this farm home?

From the filmmaker:

A short film showing through images the process of sugar cane extraction in the rural area of Brazil. The images was captured by Natalia Nunes and I next to her family small farm where we lived times ago. The infographics are illustrative and have only an aesthetic function. The music, inspired by a theme of “There Will Be Blood” soundtrack, is a composition of 5 lines, each one with a little variation on its beats per minute.

How Blueberries Got to England

I first met Jennifer Trehane of the Dorset Blueberry Company when she came to the Whitesbog Blueberry Festival in southern New Jersey in 2008. Whitesbog is the birthplace of what has become a global commercial blueberry industry.

Dated March 1951, the letter seen below tells just part of the story about how commercial blueberry plants traveled first from southern New Jersey on the Queen Mary to England for the first time. The young plants were then picked up from the South Hampton docks by Jennifer at the request of her father and so began her spirited life as a blueberry grower and educator.

Jennifer Trehane and her son David

A true blueberry specialist in every sense of the word, in this podcast Jennifer Trehane shares the genuinely charming story of exactly how blueberries first arrived and then stayed in England more than 60 years ago.

New Life for Produce After the Farmers Markets

This inspired video from preventionspeaks shares the story of what happens to the less-than-pretty vegetables that don’t make it to the farmers market. By re-purposing those vegetables, farmers have been able to effectively use and sell more from their fields.
