Filming the farming

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 | No Comments »

Today was filming day… which is really good because we want to document what’s going on out here at Thornhill Farm. We had SunbayMedia out to do the filming. They captured the planting that’s going on, the new plants in the hoop house, our take on organic farming- the beneficial insects, compost tea, etc. We also talked about how OurLocalFoods fits into the local economy; specifically, we employ local residents, and sell food in the local area.

We really appreciate the willingness of the local chefs to work with us- including Sean Brock of McCrady’s Restaurant (in Charleston), and Frank Lee of High Hammock Restaurant (in Pawley’s Island). To cap off the filming, the crew went up to High Hammocks restaurant, and watched as Chef Lee prepared 3 dishes that included many of our ingredients, as well as crab and shrimp (always local favorites). The crew was lucky and got to eat Chef Lee’s dishes- report is that they loved the dishes so much that they plan on doing more filming in Pawley’s Island around lunchtime.
