The Greenhorns is a documentary film that explores the lives of America's young farming community -- its spirit, practices, and needs. As the nation experiences a groundswell of interest in sustainable lifestyles, we see the promising beginnings of an agricultural revival. Young farmers' efforts feed us safe food, conserve valuable land, and reconstitute communities split apart by strip malls. It is the filmmakers's hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture -- to embolden them, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.

Our mission, as a small grass-roots nonprofit based in the Hudson Valley of New York, is to support, promote and recruit young farmers in America.

It is spring, the White House has a vegetable garden again, and The Greenhorns, our grassroots nonprofit organization for young farmers, gallops strongly forward! Today we pause from the breakneck pace of another sowing season to apprise you of our work and ask for your help.

The tax-deductible private donations we rely on are especially important now in the completion stage of "The Greenhorns" film. Your contribution brings this inspiring story of America's young farmers closer to festival and classroom audiences around the country.
