From
the Farmer’s Mouth is a compilation from the From Local Farms project of Kevin
TV, an online series to allow consumers to meet the people and see the places
where our local food comes from. It gives the viewer an opportunity to hear our
farmers talk about organics, eating local, the Slow Food, movement and food
education. From the Farmer’s Mouth was shot entirely with a flip camera and
produced and edited by Kevin Kossowan. This video also won the Perennial Plate
competition in the U.S.
