Overview
Every Saturday morning for 34 years a pioneering ecologist farmers' market brings together city people and those who produce their food. Unfolding a collective narrative, the film follows diverse individuals—rural farming families, urban naturalists, progressive clergy, and environmentalists—who united against a problematic conventional agricultural model. The story weaves through voices of those who organized to imagine an alternative. Through captivating visuals from the market and rural landscapes, the documentary illustrates the diversity of people, regions, and crops shaping the market today. Archival materials, including intimate VHS recordings by participants, paint a poignant historical backdrop, showcasing the grassroots movement that emerged from farmers, agronomists, priests, and environmentalists, forging a sustainable path forward.
