An evening with Michael Ableman…need I say more?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Seriously, stunning photography, inspiring reflections on the food system… what more can a person ask for ask for?!? Reading Michael’s book and seeing what he’s accomplished for the world of food and farming, plus the fact that he shoots beautiful photos and does so for all of his books, this is an event not to be missed.

“ Food  may become the dominant issue of our time. The industrial system that brings it to us is unraveling, and the cost of that system,ecologically, socially, and personally is enormous. While Ableman will  touch on this crisis, he will leave us with a deeper sense of how we can participate in the solutions; on our farms and in our gardens,  in  our kitchens and at the dining room table, and in the broader communities where we live.

Michael will inspire us with his stories and powerful photographic images of individuals who are using community land, backyard gardens as well as urban farms for creating socially and ecologically responsible ways of growing food.
