The epic tale of a maverick Midwestern farmer.

Castigated as a pariah in his community, Farmer

John bravely transforms his farm amidst a failing

economy, vicious rumors, and arson. He succeeds

in creating a bastion of free __expression and a

revolutionary form of agriculture in rural America.

 

Directed/Produced by Taggart Siegel, Produced by Teri Lang, Edited by

Greg Snider, Music composed by Mark Orton (Tin Hat Trio), Additional

Music by Dirty Three.

 

 

" The film evolves into a deeply moving metaphor for the struggles of

an

entire generation. His triumphant story is

essential for all of us city folk who have found ourselves despairing

for the Earth and what has seemed like our inevitable alienation from

it. "

- Mark Achbar,director, The Corporation

 

" Farmer John is a character of magnitude…a maverick, and a

philosopher

of the soil who is ready to reflect in elegant prose on the meaning

of

being alive. "

-Michael Rabiger,

author, Directing the Documentary &

Directing: Film Techniques and Aesthetics

 

" Far more than the story of one beleaguered farmer, it is a riveting

dramatic allegory about human nature and the nature of our society as

we

enter a new troubled century. "

-CR Lawn

Farm Advocate

 

" A combination of humor, pathos, despair and renewed hope is paced in

a

documentary framework that keeps your attention. "

-Jim Sluyter

Growing Together, a Conference for

Community Supported Agriculture
