My friend and fellow flower grower Jennie Love from Love ‘n Fresh Flowers posted a link to this video on Facebook this morning. I thought it was just too beautiful not to share with you all. She wrote:
“This new commercial/short film really hits home for me. My family’s fifth generation dairy farm has (just barely) weathered the storm of industrial farming that has made it nearly impossible for small. sustainably, and (dare I say) ethically managed farms to survive. I actually got stinging tears in my eyes at the end of the video where you see the farmer, now aged, with his grown son who is clearly going to try his best to keep farming the “old fashioned” way. That’s my brave brother, Dan, hoping that the American consumer is finally ready to go “back to the start” and support small local farms who deeply care about the land and the animals under their care. Believe me, it’s a very challenging life to choose. Please share this film with your friends and use your spending power wisely. xoxo”.
