Jeter Mountain Farm: A Story Rooted In Family And Harvest

Set in the rolling hills of North Carolina, this documentary follows the Jeter family as they nurture a working farm through changing seasons, shifting markets, and generations of tradition. From early morning harvests to packed U-pick weekends, we step inside the rhythms of orchard life, the relationships that keep it moving, and the quiet moments that remind everyone why the land matters. It is a portrait of hard work, hospitality, and a family choosing to grow something bigger than themselves, one season at a time. Pre-production has begun, with the finished film planned for late 2026, so reach out to us for more information or to explore sponsorship opportunities.
