Growers we spent time with.
The field has been telling them all along. These are the growers who learned to read it.

A retirement project she turned into her profession.
Wine grape · Casaseca de las Chanas, Castilla y León
Three generations in the only region still called The Wine Land.
Potato · Liopetri, Mediterranean Region
Red soil, white potatoes, and the calls that have to land before the rain.
Olive · Petra tou Solea, Mediterranean Region
Two women, one grove, and one of the world's highest-polyphenol olive oils.

Seventy-nine, third generation, still walking the rows at dawn.
