The Lexington Public Library will host a showing of The Real Dirt on Farmer John tonight, Tuesday August 24, at 6:45 pm.
Roger Ebert reviewed the documentary when it was released in 2006, writing, “This is a loving, moving, inspiring, quirky documentary that was made while the lives it records were being lived. We get a sure sense for the gradual death of the American family farm, the auctions of land and farm equipment, the encroachment of suburban housing, and then an almost miraculous rebirth through the introduction of organic gardening.”
