Grazers: A Cooperative Story

Local Beef Farms Competing with Industrial Companies

This film follows a group of small farmers with big ideas who fight to start a cooperative to sell their grass-fed beef and are almost undone by a broken food system and their own naivete. In New York State a farm is lost every 3 days and the Coop's 2-year struggle affords an intimate perspective on a national problem: is it possible for local food and small farms to compete with an industrialized food system. At stake for many are their farms, their communities and a way of life.
