Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies presents: “The Real Dirt On Farmer John”
Film: "The Real Dirt On Farmer John" (82 min, Taggart Siegel, 2005)
The Real Dirt on Farmer John is the hilarious and touching personal documentary about the colorful life of John Peterson, a farmer, artist, and revolutionary innovative thinker who turns his traditional family farm in rural Illinois into an experiment of art and agriculture, making it a haven for hippies, radicals and artists. After threats of murder, accusations as a Satan-worshipping drug-dealer, his home burned to the ground, and defying all odds, he gradually transforms his land into a revolutionary farming community. Out of the ruins of single-crop agriculture, John creates Angelic Organics, one of the largest Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in the United States.
(Event is FREE and open to the public! ..but Donations are kindly accepted).
