To kick it all off, a discussion at LOCUS Architecture brought MPR's Mark Wheat, the Birchwood Cafe's Tracy Singleton, and Riverbend Farm owner Greg Reynold's together in Northeast Minneapolis.
Sunday morning was a true spring day in the Seward neighborhood, with tulips yawning open all yellow and pink. An intimate brunch hosted by Tracey of the Birchwood attracted a fantastic variety of guests (mayor? yes! state representative? yes! filmmaker? of course! lunatic farmer? how could you not!), good food, and conversation.
The Bell Museum of Natural History on the U of M campus attracted a lecture hall full of interested citizens, farmers, students, mothers, and everyone in between. Joel Salatin, of Polyface Farm and Omnivore's Dilemma fame, gave two animated lectures. A reception between them was held in a gallery fittingly showing a special exhibit of Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, an exhibit that combines beautiful photographs concerning food culture all over the globe and a bit of history about how that has changed, particularly in Westernized countries, toward processed and fast food.
And that's just the start! Head over to www.freshthemovie.com to learn more about the film, Joel, and all involved.
Don't miss any of this week's events or screenings. Check out the Minneapolis itinerary! There is something for everyone and plenty of good real food.
