“Peg O' My Heart” is an original documentary that captures the spirit of Seed Savers Exchange while paying homage to Peg Davis, an extraordinary woman and farmer.Ms. Davis considers the Peg O’ My Heart tomato a living legacy she aims to preserve and pass on to future generations. Eduardo Fernandez, assistant seed historian and Documentarian Bernardo Morillo took a trip to Snow Spring Farm in August 2023 to meet Davis and conduct an oral history interview, recording both audio and video for SSE’s historical records and as source material for a future Heritage Farm Companion article.
Peg’s openness and welcoming demeanor enabled the team to capture enough footage to create a complete feature-length documentary that portrays Peg’s story while highlighting the essential role of small-scale, sustainable agriculture in preserving cultural heritage, strengthening communities, and enhancing individual and collective well-being.
