How We Grow
screening – May 11
|
Filmed and produced in the Roaring Fork Valley by Basalt native (and former Board member) Haley Thompson,
How We Grow tells the
story that digs deeper- beyond the farmers markets and local food access into the ways in which communities rebuild themselves around agriculture. Inspired by the drive and dedication of the next generation of agricultural leaders in the Roaring Fork Valley, the community explores how to overcome pressing issues including land access, a short growing season and more.
