The Greenhorns Film Matinee
The Greenhorns is a documentary film that explores the lives of America's young farming community - its spirit, practices and needs. As the nation experiences a groundswell of interest in sustainable lifestyles, we see the promising beginnings of an agricultural revival. Young farmers' efforts feed us safe food, conserve valuable land, and reconstitute communities split apart by strip malls. It is the filmmakers' 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, entice, and recruit them into farming.
Cost: $22 per person ($15 for Foundation and Friend Members)
Followed by afternoon Tea at 3.20pm
Bookings essential: Places limited
Inclusions: Morning Tea. Participants are to bring their own lunch. Participants to be provided with a materials list on booking and to provide.
