The library is now happy to announce that we have a copy of the DVD Goranson Farm: An Uncertain Harvest. Featuring Dresden's own Jan Goranson, the film follows her family and  crew through the 2009 growing season, the year of the potato blight and stands as a testament of how the community pulled together to help their own.
