Students will have the opporutntiyto interact over Zoom with a farmer form the film so they can ask questions.
The film can also be viewed from the Local Food Peterborough website, where there are approximately 30 films covering the activities of farms in the region! https://localfoodptbo.ca/know-your-farmer-videos/
