Growing Food, Growing Farmers is an intimate look at the expanding community of young farmers in Rutland County and the surrounding area. The exhibit showcases biographies and audio excerpts drawn from interviews conducted by Vermont Folklife Center researchers - paired with large format color portraits of the farmers, often with their families, created by photographer Macaulay Lerman.

Vermont Farm Kids: Rooted in the Land is a traveling documentary exhibit and film celebrating the lives of a diverse array of youth who have grown up in farming families.
The exhibition features a film and portraits of young people shot on various farms (dairy, produce, livestock, and maple), and explores what it means to grow up as a farm kid and perhaps become an agricultural entrepreneur. The project was created for the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) by Maria Buteux Reade, a Vermont farmer and freelance writer, and James Chandler, a videographer from Dorset, Vermont.
