Film

"Broken Limbs is a very accurate and moving description of what is happening
to agriculture in America." - Fred Kirschenmann, Director, Center for
Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa State University, organic farmer

BROKEN LIMBS, an Emmy nominated documentary, explores these hopeful
stirrings within agriculture, and outlines ways in which any individual can
play a role in saving America's farmers. Told from a hometown perspective,
the film presents the stories of farmers attempting to create this new model
for agriculture and emerging, more sustainable solutions to the crises of
recent years - solutions applicable not just to apples and not just to
farming, but to nearly any sector of the American economy troubled by the
effects of consolidation and globalization.

Potluck

Bring something (preferably vegetarian) to contribute to the potluck - bring
enough food for yourself/family and a bit to share. The primary focus of the
'Locavore' potluck is to promote eating whole foods, in their nature-made
state, focusing on fresh food from local sources (or as local as possible)

If not FROM BACKYARD then locally produced.
If not LOCALLY PRODUCED, then Organic.
If not ORGANIC, then Family farm.
If not FAMILY FARM, then Local business.
If not a LOCAL BUSINESS, then Fair Trade.

Freedom Garden Meetup

Join local homegrown revolutionaries - swap crops, seeds, expertise and
more.   

Growing for 21st century food security, FreedomGardens.org
<http://www.freedomgardens.org>  is a free interactive, online social
community of gardening enthusiasts who are fed up with foreign oil, frequent
food miles and high food prices.

--------------------------------------------ABOUT PATH TO
FREEDOM---------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------

Since the mid-1980s, members of the Dervaes family have steadily worked at
transforming their ordinary city lot in Pasadena into a thriving organic
micro farm that supplies them with food all year round. These eco-pioneers
also run a successful home business providing their surplus produce to local
restaurants. Through their adventures in growing and preserving their own
food, installing a solar power system, home-brewing biodiesel for fuel,
raising backyard farm animals, and learning back-to-basics skills, these
modern-day pioneers have revived the old-fashioned spirit of self-reliance
and resourcefulness. Since 2001, their site has inspired hundreds of
thousands to take steps towards a sustainable future and has generated a
21st century urban homestead movement.
