The Greenhorns, a national grassroots nonprofit organization of young farmers, will premiere their much-anticipated documentary film, “The Greenhorns,” all over the Northwest this fall, from small town independent theatres to college campuses -- coming to Bellingham on October 25!
Join the SC Food & Farming Program and the Community Food Co-op for this fascinating film peeking into the world of a new generation of young agrarians, their farming practices, motivations and way of life.
“The Greenhorns” shows how these beginning farmers are working to reverse negative trends in favor of healthy food, local and regional foodsheds, and the revitalization of rural economies. The film introduces the viewer to a savvy, purposeful posse of young farmers getting into the business of fixing America. One farmer at a time.
Directed by farmer/ activist Severine von Tscharner Fleming, produced in dozens of states over three years, “The Greenhorns” runs a fast 50 minutes, followed by a reception. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Food To Bank On beginning farmer business training project. Tickets will be available starting in October.

When: Tuesday, October 25, 6:30-8:30pm
