Life on the Farm Videos
Before sunrise chores. Threshing crews and harvest dinners. The windmill creaking over the well. Hear the stories and see the places of everyday American farm life — told by the people who lived it, filmed by Galynn Ferris.
The Stories the Machines Can't Tell
Tractors and steam engines are only half the picture. Life on the Farm fills in the rest — the people, places, and daily rhythms of the American family farm. These videos visit old farmsteads and working barns, walk through the tools that hung in every shop, and sit down with the folks who remember what it was all for.
Host Galynn Ferris has a gift for getting people talking: about morning chores and hard winters, threshing crews and harvest tables, one-room schools and Saturday trips to town. It's first-hand rural history you won't find in a textbook — told in the voices of the generation that lived it.
For families, it's a window into how grandparents and great-grandparents really lived. For anyone who grew up rural, it's a homecoming.
