PLUMSTEAD TOWNSHIP, Pa. – A scripted TV series dealing with a very serious subject is being filmed at a farm in Bucks County.
“This project grapples with the subject of farmer suicide but it really provides a path forward for farmers to look at, that can dig them out of a difficult hole,” said producer Sam Goldberg.
Goldberg along with his wife, Rupa Mehta, and New York screenwriter Jason Williamson worked together to create “Perfect Sundays.”
The limited TV series has six episodes with each taking place on a Sunday.
“It’s about a dairy farm that is on the brink of potentially bankruptcy, they’re having trouble surviving. The woman who runs the farm, Marla, and her son Caleb, who are slightly at odds about the direction of the farm see if it’s going to succeed as an ice cream business,” Goldberg explained.
Goldberg, who lives in Bucks County, was introduced to the Worthington family of Curly Hill Farm, through his local butcher and immediately fell in love with the property. Curly Hill Farm is the same place where more than two dozen cows escaped and roamed through neighborhoods near Doylestown this past April and were ultimately all returned safe and sound.
“We showed up at the Worthingtons’ and from the first moment, the ‘W’ on their door and the family in our show are the Weeks family, we were like this was meant to be. They’re a seventh-generation dairy. They’re just similar to the profile that we shoot in the series, it was the most magical place to film,” Goldberg told us.
For the last 42 days, cast and crew navigated filming on a working farm.
“This farm exudes so much life and energy and authenticity,” Mehta said.
Working on a real farm has its perks, Williamson told us.
“There’s a production value, you have every single thing that you need and there’s constant inspiration too. It also helps to keep us authentic because you have the Worthingtons whose farm it is to keep us honest. Rebecca Worthington is working on set with us and she’s constantly telling us, that’s not how you pick up hay and Steve is making sure the milking is being done correctly,” Williamson said.
“But also, it’s a working farm so there’s lots of noises. There’s been a lot of chicken incidents. You’re in the middle of a very dramatic scene and a chicken just walks by going “cluck, cluck, cluck. My sound guy is very famous for chasing them around with a boom mic.”
The crew has also teamed up with Owowcow Creamery to create a “Perfect Sundays” flavor when the series officially launches next year and will be previewed at the Middletown Grange Fair.
“We partnered with them to create a signature flavor that is built off of our main character, Marla Weeks, that’s her signature flavor—vanilla ice cream, mapled walnuts, some other special things that you need to watch the series to find out,” Mehta explained.
Filming wraps up next Tuesday.
“It’s really important for us that it be authentic and feel like an authentic story so it’s absolutely essential that we do it on a farm,” Williamson said.
