Dinner and a movie, Thursday 7/23

[Katie Weaver]

Please join us for an evening of good friends, good food and a screening of the new movie FRESH!

 

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.

 

Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.

 

We will have a potluck before the movie, so please bring something to share. In the spirit of the evening and local foods movement, we hope you bring a tasty homemade dish... perhaps even featuring local ingredients! Please bring your own plate, cup and utensils.
