To Make A Farm

Starting a farm from scratch takes more than just imagination, but it’s a good place to start.  Often considered a way of life from the past, today there is a movement of young people without farming backgrounds taking up this challenging profession.  To Make A Farm follows the lives of five such young people through their first seasons on the land, as the joys and disappointments of bringing life from the earth become a quiet manifesto for social change.  Documentary filmmaker Steve Suderman searches his own family history in farming to wonder if the mistakes of the past can be avoided this time through.
