I am excited to announce the arrival of Sending Milk!
“Sending Milk is dedicated to the oldest tractor on the farm that once plowed the fields and still runs strong pumping slurry; to the cows with all their warmth and curiosity; to all the worn stanchions, concrete bunkers, shovel handles, boots, and hands; to the seasons of promise, bounty, and reflection; to the past stewards of the land; to the farmers that were not able to persevere through hard times but haven’t dismantled their parlor in hopes of a future herd; to all dairy farmers of the northeast with their practical views, their ingenuity, and tireless energy that binds our communities.”
144 pages of duotone images from the past three years of photographing dairy farmers throughout the Northeast. I photographed Sending Milk using TriX film in an ALPA 6x9 w/58 Schneider, Rolleiflex 6x6 twin lens reflex, Leica M7, and a FUJI 6x8 Rangefinder. Many images from this blog are included.
Sending Milk is a direct result of the vision and support brought forward by Cabot Creamery Cooperative in efforts to document and celebrate the farm family members of Agrimark, McCadam and Cabot.
For Cabot Creamery Cooperative, DRIVEN STUDIO produced fourteen videos to profile each of the cooperatives Board of Directors. We were asked on a very tight budget and even tighter time frame to document their farm operations, their families, and what it means to be a cooperative member. There are 1200 farm families living throughout upstate New York and New England who together own the Agri-Mark, Cabot, and McCadam brands. This is video 1/14 - Neal Rea, Board Chair, New York.
