Generations of Farmlands is a multimedia collection of Centre County’s farm families on their farms and going about their daily lives.
All four families have more than one generation working in the business, where the legacy is passed down from one generation to the next, with the land staying in the family.
It’s a documentary of both past, present and future of these farms and the people that have maintained them throughout the years.
