Halee and John WePking’s relationship to their land and growth within their community is a tale of unexpected life changes and mentorship — when their experienced teacher Paul Bickford passed away in 2022, Halee and John immediately were thrust into a position of leadership and responsibility.
Set in the Driftless region of Wisconsin, this story of a farm turned regional leader illustrates the power of community, commitment and, well, heritage wheat. Enjoy our film above!
