Book clubs and film festival programs are active and accessible ways to provide programming that will bring people together to learn and discuss issues related to food, farming and community.

Share information about your successful programs and recommend good books or films and we will add this information to this website.

Here are:

  • lists of books and films that can be used in local programming and

  • information on civic dialogue as a way to explore food, farming, and community - and the issues and emotion surrounding them.

“Agriculture has not tended to its workers very well in the past. We try to take care of our employees on this ranch with housing, a retirement fund, coverage of medical expenses and that sort of thing. Any business should look to its’ workers probably first, even ahead of its’ shareholders, because if you look to your workers, then the business is going to be successful.”
