In the heart of rural Hokah, Minnesota, Henry struggles to keep his family farm afloat using only traditional methods and hard work. With his wife Alice by his side, along with hired hands John and Brent, they toil day in and day out, wondering if their efforts will ever truly pay off. Their friend Sister Agnes, a frequent visitor to the farm, offers support and companionship in their challenging journey.
As the seasons pass, Henry and his family face the harsh realities of farming life. They rely on their livestock for sustenance, tending to a bountiful garden and preserving every last harvest. The financial burden weighs heavy on them, making it difficult to afford even the basic necessities for their operation. Amidst the daily grind, the question of whether to sell the farm lingers in the air, a decision that could change their lives forever. With a serious tone and poignant style, this story delves into the struggles and sacrifices of those who choose to uphold tradition in a modern world.
