Regenerative Agriculture for OpenRoad Magazine

Written by Ian Harland

For OpenRoad Magazine, I photographed two regenerative farms in Richmond, BC. The assignment follows the people working among vegetable beds and greenhouses close to the city.

The photographs move from harvesting vegetables and arranging flowers to bringing produce to market, with portraits and details of the work along the way.
