Forwarded from 1000 Friends of Iowa

  
Public Radio International teamed with Iowa Public Radio's Rob Dillard and 1000 Friends' Craig and LaVon Griffieon as part of a series to document a year on the Griffieon Family Farm. The Five Farms documentary series will air on IPR's news-exclusive networks (WOI-AM, KTPR, KWOI, KOWI, WSUI) Monday May 4th through Friday May 8th at 7:00 PM, as well as five consecutive Sundays beginning May 3 through May 31st at 8:00 PM. 

The Five Farms series offers listeners a unique glimpse into the lives and work of five farm families across the United States throughout one full cycle of seasons. From daily chores to debates on best farming practices, the documentaries allow a real inside look at life on a farm. 

The families featured in this series include the Hager Brothers Farm in Massachusetts, the Wise Family Farm in North Carolina, the Griffieon Family Farm in Iowa, the HOPI farm in Arizona, and the Good Humus Farm in California. The Five Farms website has information about the project and the families, numerous pictures and photo essays, additional stories from the families, and web extras.
