A local film in progress will illuminate the people behind the glass at Vertical Harvest. By Meg Daly

JACKSON HOLE, WY – How do we nourish community? That is the question explored in a new film in progress, Hearts of Glass, about Vertical Harvest, the urban greenhouse in downtown Jackson that has made people sit up and take notice. Funded in part through a unique public/private partnership with the Town of Jackson, it is one of very few vertical greenhouses in the world.

Vertical Harvest has been written up in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and myriad other publications. It has garnered attention not only for an innovative approach to growing food, but also for co-founders Penny McBride’s and Nona Yehia’s commitment to employing people with developmental disabilities.

Bad News, Good News

Bad news, good news – Although we made it to the finals, we didn’t win the Seed&Spark / Project Greenlight Digital Studios Untold Story Rally, but we premiered our re-vamped trailer at the Center for the Arts, submitted a grant request to Humanities Montana, entered the The Paley Center for Media Documentary Pitch Competition and applied for two production funding grants. We are moving forward on all fronts – filmmaking and funding, baby! Thanks to all the folks and organizations who have supported us thus far! Center of Wonder, Wyoming Humanities Council, Wyoming Arts Council and Wyoming Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities. Hold good thoughts for future funding and feel free to spread the word about “Hearts of Glass,” a documentary following Vertical Harvest of Jackson Hole‘s first year of operation.

Dishing: Hearts of Glass Preview

Summer is over, but not forgotten. If you missed this year’s Slow Food in the Tetons’ Lockhart Ranch Party, this video will give you a taste of the amazing event. Folks enjoyed a farm-to-table dinner featuring grass fed Lockhart beef, seasonal vegetables from around the valley and beer from Snake River Brewery. Local food was complemented by local art and entertainment (The Canyon Kids and Maddy German).

The following short video was filmed by JenTen Productions, who is currently working on a feature-length documentary about Vertical Harvest’s first year of operation. Slow Food in the Tetons is partnering with JenTen on the project called “Hearts of Glass.”
