July 26th Benefit Screening of "Working the Land"
Last summer CitySeed screened Ken Simon's Documentary "Working the Land at Criterion Cinemas, New Haven.
The event featured a local food reception and a discussion panel with local farmers. We encourage you to check out the film to learn more about the past present and future of Connecticut agriculture.
Summary
Since its earliest days, Connecticut farmers and the farming way of life helped to build the state, give sustenance to millions, and provide residents with a special sense of place.
Today, farming in Connecticut is at a crossroads as lifestyle changes and development pressures threaten the state's 4,200 remaining farms.
Using evocative archival images and beautiful contemporary footage, Working the Land tells the fascinating story of Connecticut agriculture from its beginnings through today.
Working the Land is a compelling look at how farming remains integral to the state's food system, economy, landscape and culture. Along the way, we'll visit many picturesque state farms and meet the colorful farmers who work the lands and waters of Connecticut.
