From The Ground Up
Series produced by Crop To Cuisine
Breaking ground on a new farm requires much more than a good shovel. Before the seeds are in the ground, before the early morning trips to markets, a life of farming begins with months of planning and work on unfamiliar land. The farmers of Langwater Farm are in just such a position—they are transforming a historical piece of property in suburban Massachusetts from bare to brimming. And in their initial year of production, every task is the first of its kind.
This story will follow the Langwater farmers as they maneuver through starting a farm in hard economic times, in a year after severe agricultural blight in the region, and in a town that has not seen a farm in decades. In five episodes (4-6 minute individual features), we’ll learn about much of what happens before the food leaves the farm.
