Films
From 2009 -2019 we produced over 80 short films on sustainable and organic agriculture with grant money provided by the USDA.
This work led to our producing two award winning (including an Emmy) full length documentary features. Licensing deals ensued and the films were available for downloads and rentals through online media worldwide. The licenses have expired so we now make our films available for anyone to watch for free.
