Project Description The farmers interviewed raise cattle for dairy and meat, goats for dairy, and/or tend orchards and vegetable gardens. This community was selected by the class based on discussion and a consideration of the goals of the project. Students chose small scale farmers in Virginia with the intention of getting to know more about both small scale farming and an important group in rural Virginia society. Moreover, students hoped to make others more aware of the diverse, unique, and compelling lives of these small scale farmers and the important work that they do. On this website you will find selections from the life stories of each of the individuals interviewed. You will also find selected photos of interviewees, student photos, student statements and other relevant information. Each student created her own webpage to reflect the life of her interviewee, as well as her own experience with the life history encounter. Below you can use the links to find out more about the interview questions, interview process, comments sent to us by viewers, and links to other sites related to oral history and self-narratives. Please contact us and send us your comments (link above right). Thank you for visiting! |
