In the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest, something remarkable is happening. Family farmers have been disappearing for decades, but now they are making a comeback. They are taking better care of the land, growing healthier food, and lots more food per acre, while using less energy and water than industrial agriculture. To respond to climate change and peak oil, we need to produce more of our food locally. With the stories of these growers, plus the businesses and markets that feature their products, Good Food shows that it is possible to increase the supply of healthy, local, sustainably grown food. |

"Food scarcity may become the dominant issue of our time. This film demonstrates that abundance is possible, when we refocus on regional agriculture and honor those who are making it happen. This film is a celebration of the best of the northwest, portrayed through food and those whose hands grow it." Michael Ableman, farmer and author of On Good Land and Fields Of Plenty "Good Food is an intelligent, sensitive, and very timely witness to the ultimate interdependence of producers and eaters. The warmth and wisdom of this film will inspire and reassure all who continue to work for greater community food security, in communities everywhere." Goldie Caughlan, former member National Organic Standards Board "The film visits many of the pioneers in the movement to 're-localize' our food system and documents, first hand, the tremendous grassroots work that is being done here in the Northwest." Mary Embleton, Executive Director, Cascade Harvest Coalition |
