SCREENING: The Jungle with the Woodstock Film Festival
#WFF25 Special Event: A special post-screening conversation following the World Premiere of The Jungle with Director Matt Wechsler, Executive Producer/Subject Mark Bittman, and regenerative agriculture leader Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin at White Feather Farm, Tuesday, October 15th at 7:00pm
Unraveling centuries of greed and exploitation in America’s meat industry, this modern-day take on Upton Sinclair's shocking 1906 novel, The Jungle, calls into question the profiteering of ecosystems and reveals how indigenous knowledge may hold the key to creating an equitable food system for both people and the planet.
Matt Wechsler (director) is an Emmy-nominated director whose work focuses on social and environmental food issues. Among his feature films, SUSTAINABLE (Netflix) explores the challenges of small farms, and RIGHT TO HARM exposes environmental injustice in rural communities. He also produced LAST MAN FISHING about the corporate takeover of America’s fisheries.
Tickets:
$25 per person
ABOUT THE FILM:
A modern-day take on Upton Sinclair's shocking 1906 novel, The Jungle unravels centuries of greed and exploitation in America’s meat industry and reveals how indigenous knowledge may hold the key to creating an equitable food system for both people and the planet. Featuring former New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman, the film chronicles generations of profit-driven conglomerates manipulating our food system, destroying ecosystems, and exacerbating climate change. Industry insiders detail the roadmap for today’s corporate dominance. Simultaneously, slaughterhouse laborers fight for justice against relentless worker abuse. Others, like Paige and Derrick Jackson, have lost trust in the system, radically changing their lives to raise their own food. Committed to rebuilding our perpetually broken meat industry, Minnesota farmer Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin begins to graze his chickens using an indigenous technique. The effects are a revelation. Could this very simple method offer a clue toward solving the great American meat problem?

Tanya Himeji Romero is an artist whose vision for over a decade has materialized in her work as a forest farmer, plant steward, herbalist and culinary alchemist. While she believes any medium can be used to communicate our creativity, reverence and inherent connection, plants and food are her principal ones for their deeply resonant healing potential.
Japanese-Spanish in heritage, Canadian by birth, and now residing in the Hudson Valley, Tanya’s upbringing in the hands of contrasting cultural traditions, as well as her travels, necessitated the inner work of reconciling dissonance, which previously left her feeling isolated and confused.
Intimacy with Nature reminded her that separation is an illusion. By surrendering to both the paradox and the infinite depth of connectivity in the context of her relationship to the Natural World, she has experienced the healing of a lifetime. It is from here and through the guidance of Nature that she has embraced her calling as a conduit for plant medicines to be regeneratively utilized in this world.
Tanya believes that all being is relatedness and that at heart we all desire to be seen, heard, respected and nourished- this, a beautiful reality she generously communicates and cultivates within her work.

Walk on the Wild Side: Ecosystem Discovery Walk with Hudsonia
We will amble about the "back 40" of White Feather Farm visiting forest, field, and wetland to learn who lives in and relies upon each habitat. This tour of the Farm's significant habitats, led by Chris Graham of Hudsonia, will focus on plant-life but will also discuss the ecology of some of the local animals. In addition to meadows and mature hemlock and hardwood forests, the outing will include a walk through a beautiful oak-maple swamp that may have shallow standing water.
Participants are required to bring:
either rubber boots or sneakers to get wet
insect repellent (as there may be mosquitoes)
water!
* optional * notebook + binoculars
Anyone who is curious about the wilder side of the natural world is encouraged to sign up, no matter your age or experience level. Difficulty will be moderate: part of the walk will be off-trail, with mild ascents and descents and some uneven and mucky terrain.
TICKETS:
$15 each
Chris Graham’s background is in plant community ecology. At Hudsonia, he works mostly on habitat mapping projects, biodiversity assessments, and floristic inventories.

Printing with the Sun (Cyanotypes)
Learn about the art of Cyanotype printmaking at White Feather Farm
This 3-hour workshop, led by Viktorsha Uliyanova, introduces how to create beautiful handmade blueprints using camera-less photography. Cyanotype is one of the oldest alternative photographic processes that was developed in 1852. It uses non-toxic chemicals, ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide to create a UV sensitive solution which produces vibrant Prussian blue colors. Participants will use plants and leaves from the farm to compose a photographic image, called a photogram, to take home. An optional toning technique will be introduced to participants wanting to experiment with different color hues.

*Rescheduled* Bird Walk
Spring migration is peaking around this time, and with luck we'll get to see not only birds returning to raise young here on the farm this spring, but also others passing through on their way to the boreal forest in Canada. Beginning or soon-to-be birdwatchers are welcome; we can go over basic identification skills and answer questions from all levels of experience. We will investigate questions such as: How do I make my yard better for birds? How does agriculture impact birdlife?
Bring binoculars and a field guide if you have them, as well as footwear suitable for wet soil.
