What happens when the last son leaves the farm, and the farmer grows old? Do the stories of six generations whisper into silence, as dust darkens the windows of the empty barn?

Or can a young boy, running in yellow boots through abandoned fields, bring new life back to the farm? There may be much to explore, and time to wonder. There may be, for a short even as, a gentle old man, atop a faded John Deere tractor, and the potential for connection…

An unforgettable true story of history and hope on a small circle of relatives farm in Somerville, Maine, from its settling within the early 1800s to its perilous transfer to a new farm circle of relatives in 2008.
Chronicling the history of seven generations, this is a reminder of the role small farms have played in our national and circle of relatives histories, and a challenge to seek out innovative how you can re-connect our communities to this wealthy but threatened resource.
