Corrected Date! Sunday Feb 13th

FRESH - FILM SCREENING AT SJI LIBRARY FEB. 13, SUNDAY, AT 6 PM  - FREE - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

We are all hearing a lot of things about what's wrong with our nation's food production systems. How about hearing the ways we can start to solve the biggest problems? Attend the screening of the film “Fresh”, a documentary encouraging us to think about the food we are eating, looking at the issues today’s farmers are facing, and most importantly, looking at people who are doing great things, and who have found do-able ways to make healthy food available for everyone. 

You can walk out of this film feeling ... Happy! And powerful.

 An informal discussion will follow.  For more information on “Fresh” visit the film’s website:  http://www.freshthemovie.com/.  

This event is co-sponsored by the San Juan Island Library and Land & Sea, a chapter of Slow Food.
This event is made possible by Land & Sea members Michelle and Chad. Thanks, Michelle & Chad!

His farm and not-for-profit, Growing Power, have trained and inspired people in every corner of the US to start growing food sustainably. This man and his organization go beyond growing food.
