In
the middle of the residential areas of Culemborg, The Netherlands, lies
City Farm Caetshage. Here, since 2008, the farmers Todd and Boudien
grow organic vegetables. Through vegetable packages and a farm shop,
they sell their products to the inhabitants of Culemborg. For three
months, Maria and Lotte worked and filmed at the farm. The life of Todd
and Boudien is slightly different than that of the average farmer. In
cooperation with the municipality, the foundation board of Caetshage
determined several targets. Besides the production of organic
vegetables, the farm offers a working place for disabled people and
several education programs. The film shows how Todd and Boudien, by
working hard, manage to keep standing, without losing their ubiquitous
enthousiasm. This makes their farm a unique place, where a variety of
people likes to come and enjoy organic vegetables.
