Film Screening of the Greenhorns
Please join us Thursday, April 26th in attending a screening
of the film The Greenhorns directed by Severine
von Tscharner Fleming.
"The Greenhorns documentary film, completed
after almost 3 years in production, explores the lives of America's young
farming community - its spirit, practices, and needs. It is the filmmaker's hope
that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build
the case for those considering a career in agriculture - to embolden them, to
entice them, and to recruit them into farming." - (www.thegreenhorns.net)
The film
screening is followed by a reading from the book "Greenhorns: 50
Dispatches from the New Farmers’ Movement", co-edited by Severine.
This event has been sponsored by the Galaxy
Bookstore and the Center for
an Agricultural Economy.
The screening and reading will take place at the
Hardwick Town House located at 127
Church Street in Hardwick, Vermont and starts
at 6:30pm. There is a $5.00 suggested donation.
The proceeds will go to
support The Greenhorns non-profit
group. A community of more than 5000
young farmers and activists, The Greenhorns are committed to producing and
advocating for food grown with vision and respect for the earth.
Immediately following the event, please join the High Mowing
Organic Seeds staff at Claire’s Restaurant for an informal mixer. It’s a
great time to connect and talk about sustainable agriculture and have fun with
fellow growers. High Mowing Organic Seeds will provide free organic seeds to
anyone who joins us at Claire’s.
If you
have questions, please contact Brigitte Derel (brigitte@highmowingseeds.com or
802-472-6174 x 132). Hope to see you there!
