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,

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.
