About Harvest Testimonials:

“Nancy O’Mallon is a master at capturing both the history and the art of agriculture. Her documentary titled THE MIGHTY HUMBLE BLUEBERRY has been enthusiastically received by our blueberry growers and serves us well in showing both the historical significance of our industry, while at the same time creating a greater appreciation among viewers of what it takes to bring blueberries to their table.”

-Mark Villata, Executive Director, U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council

“O’Mallon’s film will go a long way towards increasing our knowledge about blueberry farming, in an informative and entertaining treatment of this subject.”

-Leslie Burger, Past President, American Library Association

“A fascinating story about the blueberry. The film offers the perfect platform for discussing not only the history of fruit production, but also the importance of women in agriculture and their contributions to modern agriculture. The film can be shown in short segments for easier classroom viewing. Definitely one of the best blueberry resources available.”

-National Resource Directory, Agriculture In The Classroom

“It has been a privilege for the American Cranberry Growers Association to work with someone with Nancy O’Mallon’s talents and abilities to help us share our story. Nancy’s love of agriculture, her talent for communicating through film, and her seemingly endless energy has resulted in an informative and enjoyable short documentary of the highest quality. NEW JERSEY’S RED OCTOBER will be a tool that we will use for years to come as a means to share with the public about the history, people, science, and farming methods behind our state’s cranberry industry. NJN Public Television’s desire and willingness to broadcast our documentary throughout New Jersey is a clear demonstration that other professionals in her industry hold Nancy’s work in high regard.”

-Shawn Cutts, American Cranberry Growers Association

“Through a series of poignant tales, witty anecdotes, and inspiring lessons as told by fathers, sons, and daughters, the film’s main focus is on the evolution of cranberry-harvesting technology. Black-and-white archival footage brings to life the arduous early method of using pronged scoops to separate the berries from the vines by hand, as well as the first mechanical innovations.

But the most breathtaking cinematography is reserved for the modern method of water harvesting, first introduced in 1961. Stunning seas of floating cranberries atop acres of flooded land await harvest by rotary machines often built by the farmers themselves. The film is truly a portrait of contemporary farming at its ideal, and you’ll never look at a jar of cranberry relish without reverence again.”
