Speakers and Lectures

"Farmer John" Peterson will discuss the documentary "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" following a screening of the movie. The film tells the story of one man, his farm, and his family—a story that parallels the history of American farming. But Farmer John is no laconic, Grant Wood-type with a scowl and a pitchfork. Equal parts performance artist, writer and farmer, John Peterson has been known to switch out of his overalls into leopard latex or a purple-feathered boa.
