Sustainable Cinema Series features
“Good Food” Thursday, September 27 at 6:30 pm
Dragonfly Cinema, 822 Bay Street Port Orchard
(Port
Orchard) - The harvest season is upon us. Something remarkable is
happening in the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest. After leaving
the land for decades, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing
much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and
water than factory farms. And most of this food is organic.
Mary Embleton, Executive Director, Cascade Harvest
Coalition recommends “Good Food”. She says “The film visits many of the
pioneers in the movement to ‘re-localize’ our food system and documents,
first hand, the tremendous grassroots work that is being done here in the
Northwest.”
Join a special discussion about local food with Commissioner Charlotte
Garrido and the Kitsap Community Food Co-op. The Kitsap Food Co-op connects
our local community with quality food products and information that promotes
a healthy future for us. Together we work toward a world where mutually
beneficial relationships exist between producers and purchasers.
The Sustainable Cinema Series offers films to stimulate community discussion
about issues we care about. Kitsap County Commissioner Charlotte Garrido
sponsors the series, held at the Dragonfly Cinema in downtown Port Orchard
at 822 Bay Street. A $5 donation is suggested.
