truth about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation
and where we are going from here.
At the entry to the auditorium a display of local growers and producers,
shop owners and organizations will be set up with their important local and
state wide information. You’ll be able to talk to those who grown your food.
After the showing ends please join the Discussion Panel to review the
information presented.
