I just watched the 1 hour documentary about Austin Blair farming in Sonoma county. From the website http://www.theorganiclifemovie.com/:
A year in the life of an hopeful organic farmer and his skeptical girlfriend reveals that a changing climate, financial insecurity, demanding physical labor, and corporate agriculture threaten the sustainability of one of the world’s most traditional livelihoods in modern-day America.
While this is a “real” farm, I sure know what he’s talking about, the endless hours of work and so little pay. Yet, Austin loves what he does and so do I.
