I loved this documentary. Some people hear documentary and they automatically shut off, but please hear me out. The story is about a farming family from the midwest and the struggle to keep the family farm through the persistence of corporate farmers, deveolopment, naive neighbors, and poor decisions. It is a merging of old American values versus new age values and the struggle to retain personal history while welcoming change. This movie made me laugh, cry and taught me to be more understanding of uncommon situations. I don't want to say too much and give the story away!!!!The Real Dirt on Farmer John http://www.farmerjohnmovie.com/FJhome.html

I totally watched this in one of my urban planning classes at PSU. It took up two class periods. It was nice to not have to listen to some lecture and I learned about CSA's. Good stuff!
Adding The Real Dirt to my netflix list now!
