  • Movie Screening: FRESH
    07/31/2010 - 3:00pm

    Georgia's Farm to Market Is Excited to Announce the Houston Summer Screening Series of the Movie FRESH, directed by Ana Sofia Joanes.

    FRESH is an exhilarating look at the solutions people around the country are developing in response to the decaying American food system. FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are creating new thinking in how we approach food. 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.

    Saturday, July 31, 3:00PM
    Georgia’s Farm to Market
    12171 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77079
    Small donations are appreciated. Please RSVP

    Additional Houston screenings of FRESH will be announced.

Panelists will include the movers and shakers of Houston's food industry, ranging from prominent chefs to environmentalists and Houston food policy makers. Panelists will be announced at http://fresh.georgiasmarket.com.

    Prior to and following the Georgia's Farm to Market screening, a farmers' market will be held inside the store. A complete list of participating farmers and vendors will be made available at http://fresh.georgiasmarket.com as the information becomes available.
