Next Barn Over
A certified organic vegetable farm at the foot of the Holyoke Range, Next Barn Over works hard to provide high-quality vegetables for their community. We did a series of short documentary-style shoots throughout the 2019 growing season, creating a diverse gallery of images to enrich their digital communication.
A super-fresh series of vegetable portraits showcasing their stunning produce!
