The Greenhorns documentary film, now in post-production, explores the lives of America's young farming community - its spirit, practices, and needs. It is the filmmaker's hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture - to embolden them, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.

The production of The Greenhorns is part of our grassroots nonprofit's larger campaign for agricultural reform. We are an activist organization that does much else besides. Please take a look around our website, watch the trailer, visit our blog, tune in to our radio show, come to an event, and get in touch.

Your Help is Needed

With forests full of birdsong and pinkening buds, we Greenhorns are ready for our upcoming trip to Washington DC. The sap rises in our veins when we think of the opportunity to share our insight, network and experience with a range of policy makers and thinkers on the great hill of national decision making.

In preparing for the forum, I am seized with a rightly patriotic urgency; all around me I see the barns falling and rotting, the time to make a real political investment in farmers has come.

This trip to Washington marks our last shoot for the film, so your tax-deductible private donations are all the more important now to help us bring this inspiring story of America's young farmers closer to festival and classroom audiences around the country.
