Dreaming of a Vetter World comes at a time when interest in farming organically and regenerating soil has exploded worldwide. Others are realizing what the Vetters have known for decades: eating food grown with pesticides is bad for us, and soil is key to our very survival. That’s why, on the Vetter farm, their most important “crop” is the soil. The film screening with be followed by a Q&A with the director Bonnie Hawthorne and featured farmer Fred Kirschenmann.  Kirschenmann is a distinguished Fellow in Iowa State University’s Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and an Iowa State professor with the Dept. of Religion and Philosophy
