Down on the Farm : the Last Dairy Farms of North Stonington

By Markham Starr

Photographer Markham Starr documents the last four, family-owned dairy farms in North Stonington, Ct. These farms, with the earliest starting in 1791, have been passed down through generations to the present day. With their futures uncertain, Starr records in over 200 beautiful duotone photographs and hours of interviews just what it takes to operate a modern dairy farm over the course of an entire year. This unique window into life on the disappearing family farm shows us what we stand to lose once they are gone.
