The Organic Growers School is standing in support of Purple States, an indpendent film production company, as they embark on a documentary journey that will study farming in a way that the local food movement has not yet attempted.

Local food is something that people like to talk about. Many of us even think that we understand it. But the realities of small farming are much different than most of us are aware of...watch the trailer below to get an idea of what we mean.

 

The Harvest from cinnamon Kennedy on Vimeo.

 

 

This important film series will put cameras in the hands of four small farmers in the Asheville area of Western North Carolina for one harvest season.

What they will show us just might change the way you buy food for the rest of your life.

 

DONATE TO THIS PROJECT

and become a part of the core of folks supporting an important glimpse into farming in our region. Plus, you'll be thanked by way of some down-home, local prizes:
