Film Screening: FRESH At Saul's Restaurant and Deli
Tuesday, July 7th, 8:30 pm
Film is free; suggested donation $10
Enjoy a locally sourced dinner and/or maybe one (or more) seasonal, housemade sodas - cream, blueberry, strawberry - and good conversation!
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.
