A fantastic story about an idiosyncratic child of the sixties who inherits
his fathers farm, almost destroys it, and then reinvents himself as an
organic farmer–with flare!

For close to a century, a great American epic has been played out in the
tiny town of Caledonia, Illinois, about 75 miles west of Chicago. THE REAL
DIRT ON FARMER JOHN tells the story of one man, his farm and his family—a
story that parallels the history of American farming. But Farmer John is no
laconic, Grant Wood-type with a scowl and a pitchfork. Equal parts
performance artist, writer and farmer, John Peterson has been known to
switch out of his overalls into leopard latex or a purple-feathered boa.
