Lettuce Harvest

I did an 8 month documentary project on a small organic farm just outside of the city. Sparrows Nest Organics is run by a couple who have a vision in farming, where food is grown without chemicals and provided to the local community. Their small-scale, organic farming offers an alternative to the large-scale, cash crop farming that dominates the province of Alberta.

This is Graham, who owns SNO, with his knife, slashing the bases of the first lettuce of the season for harvest. The lettuce was the vegetable that seemed to cause Graham the most grief because hungry deer would ravage hundreds of dollars of lettuce on any given night.
