This Friday, August, 6, 2010 at 9 p.m., come to Howell Living History Farm in Lambertville to watch the premiere of “The Farmer and the Horse,” a film that documents a new generation of farmers inspired by sustainability and the using draft horses for power, by freelance journalist Jared Flesher.
As I started getting more interested in stories about where our food comes from, I began meeting interesting young farmers who spoke with passion about completely rethinking our agricultural system to make it healthier and more sustainable,” said Flesher. “My film focuses on a few particular farmers who are exploring something really different – using draft horses instead of tractors – but their reasons for doing so are very mainstream: They want to be part of a movement that starts to fix the problems created by the industrial agriculture system we have today.
