The Local Food Movement Takes Root in a 2009 documentary film about the shortcomings of America’s industrialized food system against a rising local food movement, whose proponents are shrinking the gap between farmland and dinner table.

American food is in a state of crisis, but a movement to put good food back on the table is emerging. What began 30 years ago with chefs demanding better flavor, has inspired consumers to seek relationships with nearby farmers. This is local food.

Mike Mikulak of the Halton Food Council will take us through a hands-on workshop making food using local and/or wild ingredients. Workshop will be in the North Halton Community Kitchen at St Albans.
