Actually, they did call ahead\u00a0(that was only a few hours ahead) and it was as usual a very busy Friday.\r\n\r\nNevertheless, they arrived late that same afternoon and so my plan was\u00a0to meet, greet, and send them out to the orchard to do their filming. Yes,\u00a0\u201cthey\u201d were a film crew creating a documentary about food in America;\u00a0how it is grown, distributed, eaten, etc. Here\u2019s the link to their Facebook\u00a0page: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eatingyoualivefilm\">www.facebook.com\/eatingyoualivefilm<\/a>\r\n\r\nI wound up staying with them until dark. They were such interesting people (4 of them) and doing such good work. But, the best thing\u00a0about their filming was their drone. It was the first time I\u2019d ever seen\u00a0one. It was fascinating! It was about the size of a car steering wheel: 4\u00a0little propellers, a battery and a camera! It\u2019s vertical range and horizontal ranges were about 3,000 feet. It was controlled by an iphone. I was\u00a0amazed at how easily they used it to get video shots of all aspects of our\u00a0orchards, gardens and buildings.\r\n\r\nMy kids loved it. I predict that within 2 years we\u2019ll be using drones\u00a0(probably operated by Maddie &amp; Millie) to monitor many aspects of\u00a0our orchards\u2019 growth from water stress to fertility needs.\r\n\r\nMore next time...\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\" width=\"250\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear CSA Members, About 2 weeks ago we had an unscheduled visit to the farm by some\u00a0very interesting folks from Tennessee.
