IV · Appalachian Field Notes

Letters from the farm.

A journal kept for the people who help keep the farm going.

The vineyard, the woods, the cellar, and conversations with growers worth listening to. Written and filmed as the work happens, including the parts that go wrong.

Field Notes is published on its own press. Reading and joining happen there.
