We are excited to unveil a new promotion as part of our grassroots funding campaign - all donors contributing $50 or more through our donate page online will receive a copy of Edible City on DVD once it’s complete! We’ve also just uploaded rough two segments from the film, one about nutritionist Joy Moore and the other profiling urban farmer Jim Montgomery - these can be viewed on our donate page as well. Please help us spread the word, and tell your friends!
We have a number of new videos to check out! Our new trailer can be seen at the top right of the homepage; on our videos page, check out an interview with Roots of Change President Michael Dimock and a new short vignette profiling Oakland urban farmer and retiree Manuel Arrias. Check back frequently for more! Upcoming interviews will include Three Stone Hearth co-founder Jessica Prentice, and Preston Maring, Associate Physician-in-Chief at Kaiser Oakland and strong proponent of farmers’ markets and of food as preventive health care.
We have an exciting event coming up on June 11, a fundraiser hosted by Savory Thymes! The night will feature a local, organic spring dinner and talks by Eric Holt-Gimenéz—Executive Director of Food First—and Jessica Prentice—founder of Three Stone Hearth, the country’s first community-supported kitchen (CSK) and coiner of the term “locavore”.
