Sponsored by the Temple-Wilton Community Farm
FREE ADMISSION, with donations (suggested $5) going to benefit the Temple-Wilton Community Farm

The documentary film Vanishing Soil was made by the Danish National Film Board in the year 1978.  The Danish Film Board was seeking one single farm on which they could document a range of sustainable agricultural practices that offered an alternative to conventional agribusiness methods.  Through personal contacts resulting from farm advisory work in Denmark, the Film Board came to know the north German Biodynamic farmer Trauger Groh, who then offered his and his partners' farm, Buschberghof, near Hamburg, Germany as the background for the film.  The film is narrated in English and has Danish subtitles.  Trauger Groh, who speaks German in the film, has been living and working in Wilton, NH for the past 24 years and was one of 3 farmer partners (with Lincoln Geiger and Anthony Graham), along with 28 local families that founded the Temple-Wilton Community Farm, the pioneering Community Supported Agriculture farm (along with Indian Line Farm in Great Barrington, MA started that same year) in the USA in 1986.  Trauger Groh will be with us to introduce the event before we show the film and then answer questions afterward. 

The film is 50 minutes long, and as it is documentary in nature, it is not an enjoyable or recommended entertainment for children. 

Proceeds from the tickets sales, after paying for the theatre rental, will go to support the Temple-Wilton Community Farm.
