Island Meadow Farm + The Greenhorns + Young Farmers Everywhere = A Night Not To Miss!

Chandler Briggs, Island Meadow Farm

In a time when the average age of farmers in this country is less than a decade away from retiring, and the corporate agribusiness juggernaut is starting to take notice of our little effort to sustain, support & control our own food systems independent of their control, we, the young farmers, must join the fight to save our soil from degradation & serve our country food.

Friends, meet our pal Chandler. He's the brains behind the upcoming Washington Young Farmers Mixer, set for October 4th. We're proud to be working with him as much as we can to help make this night possible. Read a note from him below for further details -- We hope to see you there!

Hello friends!


Join us this fall on Vashon Island as we congregate & celebrate a great season & the growing movement of young farmers across this nation. The Greenhorns (http://www.thegreenhorns.net) are going on tour & coming to our neck of the woods.


Monday October 4th in the evening at the Vashon Grange Hall -- walkable from the north end ferry terminal.


Look forward to delicious food from NW farms flowing drink from the tanks & vines of the NW brewers & winemakers a screening of The Greenhorns & dancing to some great live music!


Here's more about the Greenhorns:
The Greenhorns documentary film, now in post-production, explores the lives of America's young farming community - its spirit, practices, and needs. It is the filmmaker's hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture - to embolden them, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.


The production of The Greenhorns is part of our grassroots nonprofit's larger campaign for agricultural reform. We are an activist organization that does much else besides. Please take a look around our website, watch the trailer, visit our blog, tune in to our radio show, come to an event, and get in touch.
