This delightful, heartbreaking and heartwarming documentary
follows John Petersen, who’s not your typical farmer. He could be described as
eccentric, flamboyant, and a heck of a farmer. The Real Dirt on Farmer John
tells the tale of how he survives smallminded townsfolk, the financial
downturns that nearly cost him the farm, and how, like a phoenix, he rises up
above it all and not only survives, but thrive by starting this new thing on
the farm, called CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). (2005, 83 mins)
