Set in the Périgord region of southwest France, the film follows the lives of farming families and individuals in the community as they confront challenges that the changing geopolitical and economic landscapes pose. Judith Lit, who moved to a town with 100 people in the Périgord region in 1999, found inspiration for the film after she recognized the similarities between the family farmer communities of this new home and her home town in Pennsylvania. As Lit captures the story of these families, she also narrates her own story.

The origins of After Winter, Spring are based in the real life stories of the local farmers and Judith Lit. It was produced by Lit through the Terra Production and Dublin Films production companies. It was funded by The Cher Lewis Charitable Trust, The Florence Gould Foundation, and Région Aquitaine. The cinematography was done by Stéphane Carbon, an active director of photography for over twenty years. The editing and original music were done by Jennifer Chinlund and Todd Boekelheide respectively. Monte Thompson was responsible for the animation of stills.
