Berkshire Community Land Trust’s Farmsteads for Farmers presents “Kiss the Ground,” a film about regenerative farming and climate impact, followed by a panel discussion with Berkshire County farmers.

Considered by many to be the “Most Important Film You’ll Ever Watch”, "Kiss the Ground" draws a straight line from regenerative farming to offsetting climate harms. The screening will be followed by a panel moderated by Katy Sparks (Edible Natural World) featuring Berkshire County farmers Elizabeth Keen (Indian Line Farm), Anna Houston (Off the Shelf Farm), and Will Conklin (Sky View Farm/Greenagers). This film and the ensuing panel will discuss practical, clear, and hopeful actions that will create a better future in the Berkshires and around the globe.

This event is taking place on the anniversary of the dedication of River Run Farm. Berkshire Community Land Trust’s Farmsteads for Farmers initiative is currently fundraising to acquire River Run Farm for its first lessees – Anna Houston and Rob Perazzo of Off the Shelf Farm. The film and panel are open to all, reservations are highly recommended, and donations are accepted.
