This film (USA, 2018) is the result of the determination, vision, and hard work of Bonnie Hawthorne, who believed this was a story worth telling. A crew of one, she performed all tasks apart from music, graphics, and final audio mix. It was truly a labor of love.
In February 2025, Bonnie donated the film to the Grain Place Foundation to keep the Vetter’s story alive for future generations.
We at the Grain Place Foundation are glad to make Dreaming of a Vetter World available to stream for free. We hope you will watch it and share it far and wide.
The Grain Place Foundation was started as a way to continue the farm for the sake of our common future. Since 2016, the Vetter family has literally given away their ownership of the farm to the Foundation. The Foundation will not only continue to farm for the sake of the soil on those 280 acres in central Nebraska, but to spread their dream of a way of farming that is quickly disappearing. We need these methods for the health of our soil and our communities.
We encourage you to learn more and support the Foundation: www.grainplacefoundation.org.
