Hey folks,
Don't forget, we've got one last awesome event coming up on Monday at 8:30PM. The documentary about the Corn on the Quad project will be shown on the quad!! This film is really great, it brings together the greater Lehigh Valley to examine why our food production needs improvement--and documents our own experiment from start to finish.
Date:Monday, May 11, 2009
Time: 8:30pm - 9:30pm
Location: Lafayette College Quad--Rain Location Oechsle 224
Description: What happens when non-farmers grow corn in the middle of a college campus? In the summer of 2008, students, faculty and staff at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, put writer Michael Pollan’s book “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” into practice by growing a small corn crop on their campus quadrangle. DIG THE EARTH chronicles that project, and uses voices in the Lehigh Valley community to explain the project’s wider implications—for ecological sustainability, for local communities, and for the future of food production.
Hope to see you there!!
Jenn
PS. And have a great summer!
