- Filmmaker Taggart Siegel hopes that THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN will “challenge preconceived notions about farms and farmers.” Did watching the film change your ideas about farming? If so, how?
- One tenet of community supported agriculture is the importance of consuming locally. As John Peterson explains, “The polarities [of farming], conventional and organic, are each becoming stronger, more capitalized, more assertive. It will be up to the people who eat to decide the future.” Do you agree? Why or why not?
- Farmer John Peterson lives a creative lifestyle that is sometimes misunderstood. “There are still people who don’t like me and who still believe the dark rumors about me,” says John. Yet, he chooses not to compromise or try to conform. Have you ever felt like an outcast in your own community? If so, how did you deal with it?
