Farmers chosen to participate will record themselves over the course of several months and have check-in calls with Leanna, the producer. Depending on your personal story we will work with you to record different parts of your world.

​Then the raw tape will be edited down to a 15-30 minute audio story that will be part of the Farmers On Tape Podcast. 

Things we might ask you to record

• Your chores (feeding animals, watering in greenhouses, servicing equipment, we want it all)
• Conversations with people you are close to (parents, siblings, partners, spouses, best friends, mentors)
• Your reactions (did something big just happen? Whip out your phone and tell us how you feel)
• Teach us how to do something – as if we came to your farm and had to help you with a specific task – better yet record yourself teaching a real person how to do something!
• Take us to different places – think feed stores, butchers, farmers markets, food pantries, community picnics
• Visit the same enterprise at different times throughout the season – for example seeding tomatoes, planting tomatoes outside, harvesting tomatoes, eating tomatoes, tearing the tomato plants out of the ground.
• Show us your favorite farm meal/food. This can be preparing a sit-down dinner or eating watermelon in the field and spitting the seeds out at each other.
• Record the music in your world.
• Are there any sounds that define your location?
• Describe the view.
• Give the microphone to other people in your world. Do they have questions for you?
