“Good Food” - New Movie About Sustainable Food and Farming In the Pacific Northwest

I am part of team that is making preparations for Sustainable September in Spokane. I'll be doing a little bit of a countdown in the coming week of differents events and opportunities for involvement in the emerging sustainability community in Spokane. First up is a showing of the film, "Good Food" that will air on KSPS on Sept. 4. The movie features Pacific Northwest farmers and tells the story of sustainable food and farming in our region. Check out he preview.

The Year of Plenty blog was created by Craig Goodwin in the winter of 2008 to chronicle the experiences of his family as they sought to consume everything local, used, homegrown or homemade. That journey was a wonderful introduction to people and movements in the Spokane area who are seeking the welfare of the community through local foods, farmers markets, community gardens, sustainable transportation, and more fulfilling and just patterns of consumption. In 2009 and beyond the blog will continue to report on these relationships and practices, all through the eyes of a family with young children. Craig manages the Millwood Farmers' Market, is a Master Food Preserver and Pastor at Millwood Presbyterian Church. Craig can be reached at goody2230@gmail.com
