Advance tickets online close at 2 pm, Thursday, Sept 24th. Tickets at the door will be available for $20 cash. Approximately 40 tickets remain for sale at the door.
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, a 2008 MacArthur's Genius Award fellow; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan's book, the Omnivores Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, who is creating a new market model for our family farmers.
FRESH's focus on these inspiring individuals and their initiatives around the US provides the audience with actionable solutions. FRESH is a call to action.
