Through audio and photographs, Five Farms puts a personal face on the lives and livelihoods of farmers across the United States. The farming families who are profiled in this project — they live in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Iowa, Arizona, and California — share their experiences in the audio stories and pictures; in a series of five one-hour radio documentaries on public radio stations nationwide, from Public Radio International and in a series of radio features first heard on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered.

For this project, I documented the daily lives of the Griffieon family in Ankeny, Iowa.
