About "Farming for the Future"

Creative team Matthew Kraus and Mariana Quiroga took to the fields of Athens County to explore the efforts and motivations of several organic farmers. The film includes visits to the Athens Farmers Market, a vibrant outdoor marketplace. Original classical guitar compositions featured in the film were recorded by Matt at the Peterson Sound Studio with Athens musician and gardener Scott Grady, under the tutelage of John L. Butler, CAS.
