The Epic Tale of a Maverick Midwestern Farmer

An outcast in his community, Farmer John bravely stands amidst a failing economy, vicious rumors, and violence. By melding the traditions of family farming with the power of art and free expression, this powerful story of transformation and renewal heralds a resurrection of farming in America.

The film is a haunting odyssey, capturing what it means to be different in rural America.

The movie will be preceded by a short an opportunity to hear from a variety of representatives from our local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farms.
