The epic tale of a maverick Midwestern farmer, THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN documents the dramatic failure of Farmer John's conventional farming operation and its resurrection into a thriving, organic Community Supported Agriculture farm. By Melding the traditions of family farming with the power of art and free expression, the quintessentially American story heralds a resurrection of farming in America.

Foe residents of Ottawa:
The Reel Food Film Festival team, in partnership with the Centretown Outdoor Film Festival, will be showing The Real Dirt on Farmer John at Dundonald Park (Somerset & Lyon) on Friday August 24th starting at 9pm. Admission to the film is pay-what-you-can; for those that can afford it we ask for a $5 donation in order to cover our costs in bringing you the film.

I just learned about it. And often DU looks beyond the grimy politics of Washington. This was an opportunity to share a story about triumph.
