Meet Your Farmer

Meet Your Farmer gives a voice to farmers and ranchers changing the way our food is produced to ensure a livable, healthy tomorrow. You’ll meet organic growers, grassroots farmers and regenerative ranchers with an unwavering dedication to the land, their animals, their communities, and the planet. Each film asks us to pause, to question the status quo of food production, all while evoking an uplifting, positive message of hope and transformation. Let’s journey together, get inspired, and stay hungry for change.
