Follows Farmer John’s astonishing journey from farm boy to counter-culture rebel to the son who almost lost the family farm to a beacon of today’s booming organic farming movement and founder of one of the nation’s largest Community Supported Agriculture farms. The result is a tale that ebbs and flows with the fortunes of the soil and revealingly mirrors the changing American times. At once funny and stirring, what drives the film’s powerful appeal is the way in which it digs up “real dirt” not only about the tragedy of losing our traditional American family farms but about what really makes for an original American life - one lived, on a man’s own terms, in balance with the land, through hardships and unexpected triumphs, with creativity and verve.
This 4-mile circular route will take walkers from the Plaza through flower-filled neighorhoods, including a chance to walk through some of the lovely, private backyard gardens along the way.
