Synopsis

Small Farm Rising follows a group of first-generation farmers from three unique farms as they carry plants, land, and animals through an entire growing season. These modern small farms have robust business models, sustainable practices and deep connections to the communities they serve: a goat farm that produces award-winning cheeses; a horse-powered CSA (community supported agriculture) farm which provides 100 members with a full diet year round; and a vegetable farm run by two young entrepreneurs. Filmed in the Champlain Valley and Adirondack Mountains of New York State, Small Farm Rising explores the reinvention of small-scale agriculture in America, and the hard work and beauty found within that tradition.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
