Last Harvest examines the impact of cultural hegemony on the Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. An agricultural wonder, the farmland of Lancaster County yields thirteen feet of unparalleled topsoil, one of the nations greatest natural resources. For over two hundred years, the Amish have nourished and cultivated the land. Today, the land is threatened by expanding population. Last Harvest addresses how that encroachment affects the elusive lives of the historic Amish. It focuses attention on an area developer who recognizes the cultural consequences of his work.
