The Greenhorns Movie

From our friends at Farm Fresh RI:

"The Greenhorns" is a film about young farmers in America. 

It is a traveling documentary film project used to promote awareness about the decline of the agricultural industry, enliven discussion about these issues amongst a broad audience, and to explore the lives of the young farming community in the United States.

Some RI farmers are supposed to be featured in the film!

There are two opportunities to watch the film.

• Thursday June 16h, 7:30-9:30pm at The Speakeasy at Local 121 $5
• Friday June 17th, 6-8pm Jane Pickens Theater & Event Center in Newport $10 (get advanced tickets)
