A Documentary Film that Gets Its Boots Dirty
"If going into farming is financially risky, farming with beasts of burden might as well be Russian roulette." -- Dirt Magazine From award-winning journalist Jared Flesher comes The Farmer and the Horse, a film that digs into difficult questions about sustainability, self-sufficiency, and why we do the work we do. Flesher’s film goes beyond the usual platitudes of smiling organic farmers talking about the good life. Farming is hard work, especially if you don’t use a tractor. This is a documentary every young farmer should see. So should everyone who cares about land use, the environment, and good food. "'The Farmer and the Horse" is a joy, an absolutely fascinating immersion into the world of three people who have fallen in love with working with horses." — Rob Hopkins, transitionculture.org Host a Screening
