Whether you saw Food Inc. this summer or didn't for fear of what you might see and learn, another movie on food in our country is worth a look and offers an inspirational look at how a few entrepreneurs are working to make sustainable local farming the norm. In partnership with market sponsor Yes! Solar Solutions, the WWFM will provide a free screening of the film Fresh on October 8 at 7:00 PM at the Yes! Solar Solutions retail outlet at 410 Ledgestone Way in Stone Creek Village in Cary.
Fresh is not in theaters, but hundreds of groups and individuals have organized screenings like this one as part of a grassroots effort to help grow “fresh” food and move sustainable farming beyond a niche market. Fresh celebrates the farmers and other Americans who are re-inventing our food system. They have seen the transformation of agriculture into an industrial model, and the harmful effects of that change. Now they are forging healthier, sustainable alternatives to farming.
The first screening is currently full, but we have started a wait list and will announce dates for subsequent screenings very soon. Those interested should email info@WesternWakeFarmersMarket.org to reserve a spot. Attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, which picks up donations from the market each week. Market sponsor Whole Foods Market of Cary will provide local, healthy snacks, and organic wine will also be served.
