Farm and Film Gala April 13, 2016

There will be vendors of farm produce and products, food, seeds and plants as well as tables with information from local farm and food related non-profit groups.  Tea and goodies made by the EMCS Culinary Arts students will be available by donation and there will be gift baskets to be won filled with items donated by the vendors.  We will be screening 2 short but inspiring films “Nourish: Food and Community and “Cultivating Healthy Food and Gardens for a Sustainable Future”.  The beautiful visuals and inspiring stories in “Nourish” trace our relationship to food from a global perspective to personal action steps people have taken.  It features interviews with Anna Lappe, Michael Pollan, a chef, a pediatrician and several organic farmers. “Cultivating” is a quick world tour of innovative ways in which communities have focused on making food production, from field to plate, a local endeavor. The tour travels through Victoria to look at Lifecycles’ fruit tree gleaning project.

Doors open at 6:45; films at 7:45.  Evening will conclude at 9:00 as usual.

Don’t forget to bring some cash for buying those yummy early carrots and greens, seeds and local foodstuffs.
