Toby! FCA orders and sales king!
Subscribers, farmers, Food Connect staff and volunteers caught up for cheese and wine before the screening. It was great to get together for the first time as a community and the turn up was great for a mid winter night. Thanks go to all the businesses who donated tasty stuff for us all to sample. Paris Creek Biodynamic Farm and Udder Delights for their superb range of cheeses, Baylies of Strathalbyn for the best local crackers and Kalangadoo Organic Orchards for cloudy apple juice for the teetotalers and Enoomah Bore and Ashbourne Hills Organic Wine for their generous supply of tipple.

Just the aims of Food Connect! A great night was had and we look forward to many morre opportunities to connect with all our subscribers and farmers. It was definitely a feel good night.

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. 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.
Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.
