TABLELAND is a culinary expedition in search of the people, place and 
taste of North American small-scale, sustainable food production. 
 From the Orchards of the interior of BC, the Napa Highlands, the 
Lake Country of rural Quebec, Fairview Gardens in Goleta and 
everywhere in between, TABLELAND showcases from field to plate, the 
successful production of tasty, local, and seasonal food.

The characters in TABLELAND are doers, passionate people who are 
committed to their cause and bound by principles. They are not just 
farmers and chefs; they are writers, teachers, activists and leaders 
of the movement towards a sustainable food system. Most are famous 
(within food circles), outspoken and witty.

TABLELAND tackles four important issues, sustainability, economics 
and marketing, health and taste education, and eating locally and 
seasonally. These are intensely, at times humorously discussed by the 
farmers, chefs and activists that have had years of experience and 
knowledge of these issues. The "goods" will come straight from the 
horses mouth.

With a great deal of recent attention focused on food safety issues 
such as, Mad Cow, Avian Flu and E. Coli this subject matter is as 
relevant and topical as ever and concerns everyone, because everyone 
has to eat. Recent popular publications such as Fast Food Nation and 
films as Super Size Me, The Future of Food and King Corn, criticize 
the industrial food establishment. Instead, TABLELAND deals with this 
hot topic and shows positive working models of a more healthy, sane 
alternative, with as much focus on beautiful delicious food and where 
it comes from as the economic and ethical forces behind it.

TABLELAND is not a gloom and doom piece, it focuses on the positive 
and will be inspiring to watch, enough so that you will want to eat 
something deliciously and nutritiously local. By including passionate 
human stories, bucolic locations, exquisite food and a pertinent 
message, TABLELAND will entertain and tantalize viewers.
