Photographs and Lyrical Stories of America's Original Entrepreneurs
Stories of Comfort Worth Repeating and Sharing
America’s farmers remain our nation’s most successful problem-solvers. Today’s turmoil is no match for these original American entrepreneurs who launched innovations in the middle of fires, hailstorms, and even pandemics.
In a time when what’s essential is trending, we need to learn from the rugged-handed-aproned-tacticians and wind-worn-bold-thinking Americans who’ve canceled chaos for generations.
When I Listened to a Farmer blends lyrical stories of human accomplishment with astonishing photography. Like the unwritten recipes passed down from our grandmas, the family farm and its people give us timeless best practices and a source of comfort worth repeating. And sharing!
