Watch the movie "Fresh" at the GF Public Library
GFC3 is sponsoring a showing of the movie "Fresh" on Wednesday, October 13th, at the Grand Forks Public Library, Meeting Room 3.
"We all know about the problems with the American food system, but what about the solutions? FRESH is a bracing, even exhilarating look at the whole range of efforts underway to renovate the way we grow food and feed ourselves." - Michael Pollan
