8.15.09 Charlottesville, VA FRESH Screening & Panel
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. 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.
Sponsored by Virginia Independent Consumers and Farmers Association
Immediately following the film, guests will be treated to a panel discussion by the leaders of our own local-sustainable food movement. We will enjoy a coffee and dessert reception, and books pertinent to the changing paradigm of local sustainable food production and health will be available.
