The Kinton Grange is sponsoring a Film Series on Agriculture and Food.

 

The Kinton Grange is part of a national organization created for the benefit of farmers and eaters in 1868, a time of national crisis and recovery following the War Between the States.

 

Starting Wednesday, Jan 20, we will be showing movies on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays through April.  Showtime is 7 pm.  

 

Please come early and stay late for informal discussions over snacks and desserts.   Topic the movies will cover: CSAs, Community Supported Agriculture, GMOs, Genetically Modified Foods, Food supply chains, Surplus and shortages, Food and life styles, farm methods.  Movies are mostly documentaries, some are foreign, a few are quite old, but still relevant.  "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" is humorous as well as revealing.  Goal is to promote discussion and greater awareness, so we invite your suggestions for additional titles.

 

Free, but $5 donation is requested.  Refreshments are pot-luck.
