The film is now available to stream for free online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directed, shot, and narrated by first-time filmmaker Bonnie Hawthorne,&nbsp;<em>Dreaming of a Vetter World<\/em>&nbsp;tells the story of the Vetter family, pioneers of organic farming on their 280-acre Grain Place Farm in Nebraska. More than a farm story, the film is a moving portrait of hope, perseverance, and a deep-rooted commitment to ecological stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dreaming of a Vetter World Trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1056507420?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its 2018 release, the documentary has reached audiences across the U.S. through festivals and community screenings. It is now a key part of the Foundation\u2019s educational outreach, helping to raise awareness about regenerative farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hawthorne\u2019s journey to make the film mirrors the Vetters\u2019 own bold path. Leaving behind her career in television, she lived out of a tiny trailer for two years while filming on location. \u201cDavid dared to do something that seemed crazy but mattered. His story inspired me to do the same,\u201d said Hawthorne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beautifully filmed on the Great Plains, the documentary highlights the Vetters\u2019 philosophy of farming with nature. It features interviews with organic leaders and environmentalists and follows David Vetter\u2019s journey from farmer\u2019s son to scientist to farmer again\u2014practicing what he calls a \u201cministry to the soil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grain Place Foundation, established in 2016, now owns and stewards the family farm as a model for sustainable agriculture. Each year, the Foundation hosts a Field Day offering farm tours, access to Grain Place Foods, and presentations by leaders in organic and regenerative agriculture. This year\u2019s event on&nbsp;<strong>July 12<\/strong>&nbsp;features keynote speaker Dr. Ray Archuleta (\u201cRay the Soil Guy\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foundation invites individuals, schools, and community groups to watch the film together and explore how they, too, can help cultivate a better future.
