Deep in North Carolina's Loblolly Forest, fiery Bertha Bee returns to her family's 100-year-old cucumber farm, only to find it in foreclosure. With the help of her lifelong friend Clem - a dreamer with wild ideas - they battle corporate greed, old flames, self-doubt, and the challenges that come with life's "third act." When Clem's bold moves begin to turn their fortunes around, they explore what might be the greatest harvest ever: overlooked love.

MODERN FARMING is being produced by Rachel Lauren James (Sunset Blvd., The Kite Runner, Skyscraper) & Clayton Howe of Roxedge Entertainment (Maybe Happy Ending, Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors, Never Be King, Here Lies Love, How to Dance In Ohio, Entertainmentx). Stage Manager is Alexandra O'Halloran.

The invitation-only reading of MODERN FARMING will take place on Friday, January 10th. The running time is approximately 90 minutes. For more information about the reading, please contact modernfarmingthemusical@gmail.com
