Joel and Daniel recently returned from Australia where they were speaking at agricultural seminars and hosting workshops. During their absence the rest of us were left to keep the "farm fires burning" and make sure that work went on as usual. I am happy to report that we were up for the challenge! I am so blessed with the awesome team I get to work with every day. They are the best!!
One of the big things that happened while the bosses were away, was the hosting of a two man TV crew from France. They came to see the how and why of the Polyface operation. Their main purpose for coming to the U.S. was to learn about, and capture on film, a sustainable way of farming in contrast to the conventional confinement style of operation. This film trip was spurred on by the recent happenings in Europe where horse meat was found in industrial ground beef.
With both Joel and Daniel gone, the role of being one of the main "Polyfaces" fell to me. Though a lapel mic is not part of my everyday work attire, I think I pulled it off. :) We all enjoyed the learning experience and had a lot of fun with our guests from France. Can't wait to see what they put together!
Below are a couple shots of the "ever present cameras". Unfortunately, the only documentation I have of our time together is when we fed pigs.
