I will be interviewing Liz Wagner: she owns Crooked Row Farms in the Lehigh Valley. I met her at a Farmer’s Market I started at Muhlenberg College and I realized she has great stories to tell about the challenges of farming in modern day America. She farms for Community Supported Agriculture which I thought would be a way to flesh out the interview: her perspectives on farmer’s markets, agriculture education in cities of the Lehigh Valley, etc. She also has opinions on the progressive of farming legislation in America which I thought would be a nice direction for the interview to end at.
I have been studying sustainable agricultural practices for a while now at college and am interested in picking her brain about the process of becoming organically certified and the economic and community benefits supported by farmers markets and CSAs. I should be interviewing her on Thursday of this week.
B-roll:
I’ll be interviewing her (and maybe her boyfriend who runs a kombucha brewery) at her farm. So B – roll will be shots of the farm, shots of her gardening/farming, shots of the surrounding scenery (roads, cars, urban/suburban farming) and shots of the kombucha process if available.
