Wednesday, April 11 was released at the cinema Farm Folies which tells how a peasant sets up a “farm cabaret” to save his exploitation. But the film is inspired by the experience of Laetitia and David, a “real” couple of farmers Tarn.
“It is thanks to the artists that my farm was saved”
“When I took over the family farm in 2007, it was an operation that was in the final phase, remembers David. I was the fourth generation to live on this farm and I realized that I was not going to be able to make it. So to save the last farm in his town of 300 inhabitants, the operator and his wife imagined the formula Farm Folies including a educational visit of the farm followed by a dinner-cabaret.
“No matter how much we say what we want on the artists, says David, it’s thanks to them that I saved the farm so I owe them a lot! We are passionate about our work and they are passionate about theirs. And it is thanks to the magic of these two trades that meet that we have succeeded”.
