Join us for a free screening of the documentary Food and Country followed by a panel discussion about the local food economy. 

Seating is limited. Registration is required. Registration coming soon.

Food and Country is produced by trailblazing food writer Ruth Reichl, who has served as a restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times and New York Times, editor-in-chief of Gourmet Magazine, and a judge on Top Chef Masters. The film reports on the country's troubled food system and the innovators risking everything to transform it. View the trailer. 

Following the screening, attendees will learn about the local food economy from panelists who bring food from the farm to the table. Rebecca Busansky, executive director of Berkshire Agricultural Ventures (BAV), will moderate the panel, which will feature Dan Carr, owner of Beavertides Farm in Falls Village, CT, and BAV team member; Amanda Freund, third-generation farmer at Freund's Farm in East Canaan, CT, and manager of the farm's CowPots business; and Peter Platt, chef and owner of The Old Inn on the Green in New Marlborough, MA.
