The Wayne County Cooperative Extension invites all to see Farmland, a film by James Moll, and learn more about how farmers spend their days producing food for the country.
This free movie is showing on Tuesday, January 26, 2016, at 7pm. The Wayne County Cooperative Extension is showing the film for free to ensure those who want to see it, can.
Farmland, a feature length, award-winning documentary, shows the inside lives of six young farmers and ranchers. According to their site:
Many Americans have never stepped foot on a farm or ranch or even talked to the people who grow and raise the food we eat, yet are increasingly passionate about understanding where their food comes from. Through the personal stories of these farmers and ranchers, viewers learn about their high-risk/high-reward jobs and passion for a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, yet continues to evolve.
This special showing of Farmland is in the Paramount Theatre, 139 S. Center Street, Goldsboro NC.
