Eat Dirt!
Channel: The Hands that Feed Us
Date: 2020-07-20

This week, I reconnect with dirt.  In the city, we go out of our way to create clean, sterile environments.  On the farm, dirt is everywhere, and everything.  Our food comes from the dirt, so it's strange that we take an attitude that dirt is unhealthy... strange, but not entirely unjustified.


Just because the garlic is off the field, doesn't mean it's ready!  There's still another step!


And, I dive into that old farmer pastime:  Picking stones.



The Hands that Feed Us is a documentary I'm making about how COVID-19 is affecting farmers, and why it's so difficult for farmers to make a living.  While I make it, I'm also working on the farms where I'm staying, and this channel is where I share the things I learn from actually *doing* farming — as opposed to just filming it.
