Five Farms Documentary Features Griffieon Family Farm |
|
Wednesday, 28 May 2008 |
|
The Five Farms documentary will follow the families over the course of a yearlong cycle of seasons in order to help people make the connection between the food on their tables, the farmers who work to produce it, and the value of the farmland they care for. The Griffieon Family Farm, north of Ankeny, was one of five farms from across the country selected to participate in the documentary. When asked to summarize why she wanted to participate in the documentary, LaVon Griffieon said "Basically, to educate Americans about where their food comes from and the security of local food production. A community that hasn't preserved enough farmland to feed itself is NOT sustainable." Visit the Five Farms website, www.fivefarms.org , to find out more about the project, read stories from the families, listen to the radio features and learn what it takes farm and produce the food we depend on. |
