This my locavores is a must see…..a good step in supporting local!
This is my second post about this documentary and after seeing it my emotional reaction confirmed the importance of my blog…to share what I feel is important with my community….good whole food & how to find it, I am one small effort to support local and this film is the reason why.
Mark your calendars & take a friend to the beautiful restored State Theater in Modesto. Food, Inc. is a powerful documentary that will affect the way you eat no doubt, or at least plant a seed in that direction.
The film runs August 14 – August 22…..if you see it, we want some feed back here!

Food, Inc is the upcoming film that no doubt will cause many to look at store bought food in a whole new way. The sustainable, organic & eat local movement has been around for awhile but recently has been seen more and more in main stream media and now in our theaters. Will this drive it home for those who are not sold on the importance of these beliefs?
Below the trailer gives us a peek at what to expect, tell us what you think….

April 29th ~ May 3rd, 2009
“The Magic of Ag” is the theme, bringing awareness and appreciation of our large agricultural valley loaded with big and small farms & ranches. Kat and her hard working crew have been preparing for the Henry Miller Farm here at the fair for some time, to educate the community just how much impact animals have in the agriculture cycle.
The hands on petting zoo is filled with a variety of critters from baby calfs and goats to a very large Belgium Blue. A steady flow has passed through this huge venue in awe, most visitors for the first time experiencing new born chickens, goat & cow milking and the importance of feed and care, lot’s of learning going on here!
As popular buzz words have hit main stream media here in the central valley such as eating local, recycle, sustainability, green, grow your own foods…we thought it was a good time to actually put our own twist on this movement. So Kat and I have put together a simple back yard garden display in the middle of this farm, showing just how easy it is to do. We used all recycled materials from fence posts to old tires and planted a vegetable & herb garden that looks eco-friendly, relaxing and like you want to hang out for awhile!
Come check us out, see our “Organic Oasis” and we’ll show you how you can create this in your backyard!
If you don’t make it to this fair not to worry
you can catch up with us and our “Organic Oasis” at the Merced County Fair in july!
