In Videos: Asparagus (A Stalk-umentary)
Asparagus! Stalking the American Life is a documentary film by Kirsten Kelly and Anne de Mare about the self-proclaimed Asparagus Capital of the Nation and host of the National Asparagus Festival, Oceana County, Michigan. Asparagus! explores how this small rural community has been impacted by International trade agreements which have made imported asparagus cheaper, putting Oceana County's asparagus farms at risk.
