Past event
Jan 30, 2019, 7 to 8:30 PM

The Bullish Farmer, a documentary on sustainable agriculture will be shown at the Jeudevine Library on Wednesday, January 30th at 7 PM.

Over a decade ago, John Ubaldo, aka "John Boy," a successful Wall Street investment banker decided to call it quits. Distraught over the loss of his best friend in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, John traded in his high finance career for 185 acres of land on the Battenkill River in Cambridge, NY, to live a quiet life as a small farmer. John wanted to farm the way it was done 100 years ago, raising a variety of livestock and crops. His only goal was to raise delicious and nutritious food for himself and his extended network of family and friends.

But John's dream of living an uncomplicated traditional agrarian life gets complicated when he comes up against Big Agriculture (Big Ag) and realizes that his methods are not in sync with today's prevailing agricultural methods. John, the very private farmer, becomes a passionate and outspoken activist lobbying for GMO labeling, animal rights, the preservation of crop diversity and the reduction of chemical fertilizers to help preserve small farms and rural America.

This 80 minute film will be followed by refreshments and discussion.For information call the library at 472-5948 Find out more about the film at: https://thebullishfarmer.com/
