Carhartt Releases ‘Gatherings’ Short Film to Honor Farmers

On Giving Tuesday, Carhartt teamed up with Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation to support families facing hunger across the country. Together, the partners are making a combined $500,000 gift to Feeding America, helping provide 5 million meals nationwide and reinforcing a shared commitment to step up for communities when it matters most.

In addition to the donation, Carhartt released a new short film, “Gatherings,” in honor of the farmers and ranchers whose work keeps America’s holiday traditions going. Part of the brand’s “Making the Holidays Possible” campaign, the film is a reminder that the meals we share this season begin long before the kitchen — built on early mornings, hard labor, and generations of stewardship on the land.

“Gatherings” highlights three multigenerational farms that help stock holiday tables in very real ways:

• Russell Rezin & Son Cranberry Marsh in Wisconsin, led by fifth-generation cranberry farmer Amber Bristow whose harvest goes into Ocean Spray products
• Footprints in the Garden in North Carolina, where sisters Erin and Carrie Martin run a historic Black-owned farm feeding their region while advocating for sustainable agriculture support
• Elmwood Family Farms in Kentucky, a sixth-generation operation run by siblings John Bell and Ann Bell Stone, supplying produce and pasture-raised meats through their CSA and local partners.
