The Farmer and the Horse, a new documentary film by environmental journalist Jared Flesher, will premiere on August 6 at Howell Living History Farm. The premiere is free and open to the public.
The Farmer and the Horse tells the story of three young, sustainability-minded farmers in New Jersey whoshare a less-than-modern idea—maybe they’d be better off farming with draft horses instead of tractors.
Farm gates open at 7 pm for farm tours, live music, and discussions with the filmmaker. The film begins at 9 pm — projected under the stars on a large screen in a farm field. Guests are encouraged to
bring lawn chairs and blankets.
The farm’s entrance is located at 70 Woodens Lane in Lambertville.

NOFA-NJ is very excited to let you know that for the first time in ten years, we have published a New Jersey Farm & Food Guide that will provide you with the tools you need to find fresh, healthy organically and sustainably grown food from farmers in the Garden State and our neighbors in eastern Pennsylvania, understand how a farm becomes certified organic, and what is meant by sustainable and biodynamic farming methods.
We have included the state map to help you find your way through New Jersey Counties to farms, farm markets, CSAs, farm stands, and businesses who grow or offer organically or sustainably grown food and products.
We are in the process of distributing this guide to the many farmers markets, farm stores, restaurants and other farm product outlets across the state. We hope you enjoy and use this guide all season; your feedback and suggestions on what to include in the next issue are very welcome.
If you are unable to locate the guide in your area in the next few weeks, please call us at 908-371-1111 to make arrangements to pick it up at the NOFA-NJ office, or we can mail it to you if the shipping costs are paid.
