In The Farmer and the Horse, you’ll meet Tom Paduano, an idealistic 28-year-old from the suburbs of Jersey. "The centralization of power over everything — over seeds, over oil, over markets — it's frustrating,” Tom says. “What we're doing, I think it's a small step toward breaking away from that. We are fighting against the big business in agriculture."
You’ll meet Aubrey Yarbrough, an intellectual 26-year-old from Southern California getting her hands dirty for the first time. “I think more people need to take this risk,” she says “for the health of our environment, and our communities, and better food.”
And you’ll meet Matt Schofield, a 23-year-old from Upstate New York who isn’t going to let anything — including the fact that he’s broke — keep him from his agrarian dreams. “"I have the ability to live pretty cheap," he says. “I can live in a tent. I don't care what people think."
