Harvest was available for listening from April 14 - July 11 2021
FULL LENGTH PLAY
Charlotte and Allan are ready to retire from farming and move into a condo in town. But they are not ready to sell their home. Renting out the farmhouse to a nice young couple from the city proves to be too good a solution. They start to notice suspicious clues. These new tenants have no furniture, one of them is named Razor and the hydro bill is ridiculously high.
Ken Cameron turns the real life experience of his parents selling their Southwestern Ontario farm into a very funny and unsettling commentary on the state of rural Canada.
