Producer, Videographer, Editor: Land, Loss and Love: a 175 year-old story.

 

Producer, Videographer, Editor: Kaelin Vernon is a farmer’s son. With his dad, he ran a 20,000 cattle operation for a few years, but after a while, the stress of big farming got to him. Vernon left and bought his own five-acre farm in Plano, Kentucky. Their little farm is growing, though, in its own way.

Vernon has two farmer’s sons of his own, Elijah and Amos. With the help of his wife, Heather, they have grown to 17 sheep and about 200 chickens. They spend most days at home, but still have to work jobs in town to make ends meet. They hope to be able to quit someday soon and live off their farm.

They were brought together by the monkeys, but their relationship has become so much more
