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.  This
movie 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.  Equal parts performance artist, writer & farmer, John
Peterson has been known to switch overalls for for leopard suit & purple
boa.  Noticing the ongoing multination takeover of American farming &
betting instead on the future of organic produce, Peterson turned his
enterprise into an organic operation, naming the farm Angelic Organics.  He
was soon invited to become a community supported agriculture (CSA) farmer.
The farm now supplies 1,200 customers.
