Farmer John Brings The Real Dirt to Honolulu, 10/14

Posted On: Apr 01, 08

The Kokua Hawai’i Foundation and partners Sustain Hawai’i, Slow Food O’ahu and Town Restaurant are excited to present The Real Dirt on Farmer John. The film chronicles the story of Illinois farmer John Peterson’s decades-long struggle to keep his farm, stay true to himself and eventually transition to growing organically. Winner of over 30 film festival awards, this film has it all – life, death, sex, art, failure and success.

We are thrilled to have Farmer John himself join us for the Q & A discussion following the first screening. 

Check out the film’s trailer.
