Synopsis
The co-op had the problem most agricultural organisations have. Everything it does well happens slowly, underground, or in a boardroom.
Seed to Sale is a nine-minute film built around one season on three member farms, cut to a written spine the co-op uses in recruitment, at trade shows, and on its own site.
We shot it as a documentary rather than a commercial. No actors, no voiceover, and no promises the co-op could not keep.
