403 PRESENTS
THE GREENHORNS
Recent years have seen an overwhelming interest in where our food comes from and how it is produced. As consumers have become more aware of the issues, they have become much more savvy, and with the corner supermarket no longer good enough, consumers are looking at alternative and local sources, from farmers markets, CSAs (community supported agriculture), urban agriculture and community gardens. Not surprisingly, there is a new generation of young people who are part of the movement to serve their country good food, who are seeking out farming as a way of life once again, who care about the earth, and who are producing artisanal products. These are The Greenhorns.
Please join Lelaine and 403 for a sneak preview of Severine von Tscharner Flemings upcoming documentary on these young farmers bucking the system and tide in creating a new movement to reclaim, restore, retrofit and respect this great country of ours. Severine explores their lives, motivations, spirit, practices, needs, and challenges. It's a very hopeful and inspiring look at a movement for a better future and a better America!
Severine von Tscharner Fleming is a farmer, activist and organizer based in NYs Hudson Valley. Her film has grown into a grassroots nonprofit organization that recruits, promotes and supports the growing tribe of new agrarians, providing tools and resources for beginning farmers.
