Situated in America's Heartland, the Obery family has been farming in rural Metamora, Illinois, for six generations and more than 134 years. What began as a 127-acre farm in 1874 has grown to nearly 3,000 acres. This documentary was produced by Levi Obery and his grandmother, Marcella Obery, in celebration of the 135th anniversary of Obery Farms in 2009.
Production began on May 1, 2008, and was completed 14 months later in June 2009. The film depicts life on the farm from the beginning when the family moved to the United States from France in the early 1870s and worked through sweat and tears to become the successful and thriving enterprise that it is today.
