Short Film Gets In The Dirt With A New Wave Of Cascadian Farmers

(via) Check out this short film produced by Eva Verbeeck and directed by Spencer MacDonald. Age of the Farmer takes an inspiring, illuminating, fascinating, encouraging look at the new generation of Cascadian farmers from Portland to BC.

In the summer of 2015, Eva Verbeeck asked me to join her on a trip throughout the Pacific Northwest to produce a short film on young farmers that would accompany her photo story for a variety of publications. Having spent much time WWOOFing on organic farms, I knew the importance of this mission. So we loaded our iPods with old bluegrass music and set off in a 1990 Nissan truck, heading from Portland to British Columbia. We offered our labor in exchange for room and board at the farms that we made it to. This film is an attempt to express some of the thoughts and feelings of the young farmers that we stayed with. Hopefully a little bit of justice was done for all the young farmers out there.
