"The Greenhorns" -- a much-anticipated documentary about young farmers in America that finally made its debut this spring -- is screening tonight at 7pm (Tuesday, October 4) at the Colony Cafe in Woodstock, 22 Rock City Road. Director Severine von Tscharner Fleming will be on hand to discuss the film and the burgeoning local-food movement it springs from.

Co-sponsored by the Woodstock Farm Festival and the Woodstock Land Conservancy. Suggested donation at the door; part of the proceeds will be donated to RSK Farm, a Prattsville farm which was devastated by the Irene and Lee floods.
