Potluck, FiLM and Discussion:
GOOD FOOD

Something remarkable is happening in the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest.

Small family farmers are making a comeback. They're growing much healthier food, and lots more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms.

“Large numbers of people are turning their backs on the unhealthful products of industrial agriculture and finding a whole new relation-ship with the food they eat and the land that surrounds them.” — William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“This film blew me away in its sense of the incredible creativity and energetic thrust to create a sustainable future in the northwest. From farmers and gardeners to restaurants to food banks to consumers to processors to cattle and dairy ranchers... Every aspect of sustainable farming is included in this film. We all know the answers and the solutions to our ills. This film puts it all together for other cities and states and regions to follow suit!” - Bob Banner, HopeDance
