Stone's Throw Farm

Farm Film Feast website

There was snow on the ground the first week of my first farm apprenticeship at Caretaker Farm in 2007. It was the 2nd week of April, and there was only so much we could do outside due to the weather. So, we spent some work time watching “The Real Dirt on Farmer John,” a highly-entertaining film about Angelic Organics farm near Chicago.

I was reminded of our mini filmfest this morning when I saw this article about a new film fest in Williamstown, MA (home of Caretaker Farm), called “Farm Film Feast.” I wish I could be there — it sounds awesome. I bet the local films are the best, but several of the films they’re showing are available through Netflix, such as “King Corn” (I recommend it) “Our Daily Bread,” “The Garden,”  and “Dirt!”

Farm Film Feast also includes an event called “Carharrts and Cocktails” — I’m a total homebody, but I’d have to go to an event in Duluth with that name! Until that happens, I’ll watch my movies at home and wait for the Free Range Film Festival.
