Petaluma Film Series presents The Farmer and the Horse"

Special Guest: To Be Announced

From award-winning journalist Jared Flesher comes The Farmer and the Horse, a film that digs into difficult questions about sustainability, self-sufficiency, and why we do the work we do. Flesher’s film goes beyond the usual platitudes of smiling organic farmers talking about the good life. Farming is hard work—especially if you don’t use a tractor.

The Farmer and the Horse is a film every young farmer should see. So should everyone who cares about land use, the environment, and good food.

Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Network, recently wrote:

“Jared Flesher’s film ‘The Farmer and the Horse’ is a joy, an absolutely fascinating immersion into the world of three people who have fallen in love with working with horses. In a world where the production of food is hugely dependent on the availability of cheap liquid fuels and where, in the UK, the average age of farmers is 58, this film follows 3 young people trying to get into agriculture in New Jersey in the US, each of whom has a passion for working with horses.”
