You're Invited! FRESH Movie Screening & Potluck Saturday Sept 12, 5 p.m. in the white barn at 2244 U Ave Rippey IA 50235 Dear Friends and Neighbors, You are cordially invited to a private screening of an exciting new movie, FRESH, on Saturday, September 12, 2009! FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business leaders across America who are re-inventing our food system. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for the 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. Characters in FRESH include 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 who is challenging our big-box-store dominated economy. It also features our own Iowa son, George Naylor from Churdan, a longtime advocate for sustainable agricultural policies and a prominent figure in Pollan's book. Go to www.freshthemovie.com to read more about the film, its main characters and director Ana Sofia Joanes.
