Fresh celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. Fresh addresses an ethos that has been sweeping the nation and is a call to action America has been waiting for.
Among several main characters, Fresh features urban farmer and activist Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner David Ball, challenging our Walmart-dominated economy.
Suggested Donation at the Door: $5 - $10 (although no one will be turned away). Proceeds will go to subsidize CSA food boxes for low income families in our neighborhoods. To participate as a volunteer or vendor, contact betsy.tyler@gmail.com.
