Join us for our 2018 Winter Documentary Film Series! We are screening three documentaries about food and agriculture at The ARK in Viroqua free of charge with free organic popcorn!

The first film in the series is... Farmers For America!

Description:
The documentary traces the extraordinary changes coming to America’s food system as more and more consumers flock to farmers’ markets, embrace farm-to-table lifestyles and insist on knowing where their food is coming from. At the center of the film are the farmers, young and old, who provide the spirit and energy to bring urban and rural America together over what both share in common: our food. These farmers reflect nothing less than the face of America.
With the average age of today’s farmer at 60, and rural America losing population as the cost of land and equipment soars, this film reveals the people waiting to take their place, the practices they’re championing and the obstacles they must overcome. 

The screening is followed by a short group discussion about the film. 

This film is part of Viroqua Food Co-op's Winter Documentary Film Series. To learn more about other films being screened, visit us here.
