I'm not a scientist, but an experimenter...– Joe Gock
We shot over two 12 hour days, and at 83 and 87 years old Fay and Joe didn’t miss a beat. In fact they were still up for a party at the end of the shoot! And this is the way they live their lives: fully connected and energetic.– Director Felicity Morgan-Rhind
It's not a job for making money – there never was big bucks in it. Growing healthy food is a service to all mankind.– Fay Gock in an interview with The Manakau Courier, 8 August 2013
