The Hard Part is a deeply personal story about what one farmer endures over the course of a year. Contained within her journey are the many issues that small farmers contend with: climate change, farming economics, and ultimately the struggle to survive. Divided into four seasonal chapters, we see what it takes for farmers to bring food to our tables, and are ultimately reminded that the fight for a sustainable future begins with those who live it every day.
