Fields Apart: Rooted Together

Through the Fields Apart: Rooted Together project, I was given the opportunity to tell my own farm story alongside five other farmers. This three-part docuseries shows the differences between rural and urban growers and more importantly, the similarities that bind us. In my segment, I talked about the hardships that young up-and-coming farmers face and my goals for the Back 20. Securing land and money is a hurdle for urban growers, just like their rural counterparts. Although very different operations, rural and urban growers have common goals: produce safe and healthy food, better our communities, and leave something behind for the next generation.
