    Friday, January 20th 6-8pm at the Sedona Public Library Community Room

    logo sierraclubSedona AZ (January 5, 2012) – Across the country, communities are returning to their gardens for fresh healthy foods and more reliable alternatives to unsustainable, long-distance food supplies. In Sedona and the Verde Valley, people are doing the same, as local gardens and farmers markets return to the area.

    As an inspiration, local groups are screening Good Food on Friday, January 20th 6-8pm at the Sedona Public Library Community Room. In addition to the film, there will be an open dialogue about local food security and the possibility of a community garden in West Sedona.

    Good Food takes an intimate look at how people living in the Pacific Northwest have come together to create a more sustainable food system for their communities. The film and public conversation are sponsored by the local Sierra Club, Gardens for Humanity, the Verde Food Council and Sustainable Arizona. It is free and open to the public.

    Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet, said, “It is a film made to awaken our taste buds and our courage, to create a food system aligned with what the earth needs and what our bodies yearn for. Good Food shows us it’s possible. It’s happening!”

    Everywhere, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms.

    For well over 1000 years, native peoples and settlers have raised abundant crops of grain, fruit, vegetables and medicinal herbs in the fertile Verde River Valley. “It’s only been in the past sixty years that much of our food comes from thousands of miles away, an unsustainable situation,” explained Richard Sidy, director of Gardens for Humanity. “As in the film, our goal is to help develop relationships and resources so the Verde Valley will become more self-sustaining, once again.”
