Have you Seen Fresh The Movie?

I have and it is definitely worth checking out!  In Fresh producer Ana Sophia Joanes visits farmers, business owners, and academics to show how we can create a better food system.  The film will start playing in Theaters in NY on April 9th, followed by venues in Phoenix, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle.  And hopefully it will find its way into more cities after that. 

To celebrate the theatrical release, the folks behind the movie have put together a series of amazing events including special dinners and talks.  Coming up on Sunday April 4th, Joel Salatin, the farmer made famous by Michael Pollan in the Omnivores Dilemma will travel from his hope in Swope Virginia to NYC, where he will give two lectures at Columbia.  I've had the chance to meet hear and meet Joel twice.  First at Slow Food Nation and then at a previous Fresh screening.  He's an amazing and dynamic speaker and if you get a chance, I encourage you to check one of his talks out.  If you can't get to Joel's talks, there are plenty of other events related to the release, and each comes with a ticket to the movie!
