Free movie screening: Dirty Work

Anyone interested in small-scale farming and the movement’s influence on the way we eat, cook and dine out, needs to see “Dirty Work,” a fascinating and lovingly produced documentary by director Deb Wallwork from Minneapolis-based Redeye Video.

The aptly named film follows a year in the life of farmers Don Roberts and Joni Cash at their western Wisconsin CSA operation, and the attendant spiritual joys and financial pitfalls of running an organic vegetable farm. Roberts’ son Alex, chef/owner of Restaurant Alma in Minneapolis, makes a cameo appearance.

The movie will be followed by a panel discussion with the director and some of the farmers who appeared in the film.  Read more on Star Tribune.com
