Ostensibly a bio about an eccentric farmer, The Real Dirt on Farmer John also doubles as a stirring exploration of man's common struggle with loss and prejudice.

It's fascinating that this portrait of the rise, fall and rise of Midwestern organic farmer John Peterson can be read in so many different ways, only some of which appear intentionally in Taggart Siegel's sympathetic documentary. Jul 26, 2007

It also, not incidentally, an inspiring vision of the way forward for food production, a portrait of what Peterson calls "a dead farm coming back to life". After reading The Omnivore's Dilemma, it may be just the antidote you need. Apr 25, 2008 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The Real Dirt on Farmer John offers no discovery or mystery into the Peterson family or their farm, only matter-of-fact self-importance. Sep 17, 2007 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Yes, John Peterson is a flake, but he's a likable oddball, a rebel you can get behind. Jul 27, 2007 | Rating: 3/4
