Farm to Table

From June to October 2013, WILL-TV followed the arc of a farm-to-table meal that began - and ended - at Prairie Fruits Farm north of Champaign-Urbana. The documentary Course Work: Dinner Season at Prairie Fruits Farm shows viewers how the activities on the farm build to the night of the dinner.
