About the Film: Filmmaker Devon Cooke sets out to find out why his dream of becoming a farmer seems so impossible. He lives and works on farms across Canada, discovering how farmers survive and healing his broken heart.
Devon experiences a rural way of life completely different from the city nine-to-five he is used to. He starts to see that true wealth can be found even without earning a lot of money.
Farmers love their way of life. But does that make it okay that most farmers work off-farm jobs to afford to stay on the land?
The cost of farmland is enormous— far more than farmers can earn from farming alone. Can our farmers afford to feed us?
