1:00 pm What’s On Your Plate? (kid friendly film)
A witty and provocative family documentary about kids and food politics. The film follows two eleven-year-old city kids as they explore their place in the food chain. Sadie and Safiyah take a close look at food systems in New York City and its surrounding areas. With the camera as their companion, the girl guides talk to each other, food activists, farmers, and many others, in their quest to understand What’s On Your Plate?!!

Kids’ activities led by Coe College Environmental Club

3:00 pm The GreenHorns
This documentary film explores the lives of America’s young farming community - its spirit, practices, and needs. It is the filmmaker’s hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture - to embolden them, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.

Panel Discussion with Local GreenHorns
