Director Statement :
Michael Malone is one of the most interesting characters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I have always enjoyed his take on life and many other subjects. He is the proprietor and soul of Hungry Toad Farm in Centerville, Ohio.

Michael talks about what it takes to be an organic farmer, and we learn some of the tricks of the trade. His partner in life and farming, Nancy Kelly is interviewed, and so is Janelle Barbara Wood, farm stalwart and part time librarian.

The interviews were recorded over several months.
