Growing an Appetite for Local Food

Two films will be in the spotlight this month to encourage us to eat more local food. The Quoddy Future Foundation and Eastern Charlotte Waterways and  will show a film in St. Andrews and St. Stephen as part of the Growing an Appetite for Local Food project.

Mad City Chicken will be shown in St. Stephen on Thursday November 25th at 7:00pm at the Ganong Nature Park. On Monday November 29th ECW and QFF will partner with the St. Andrews Film Society to host a screening of FRESH at 7:00 pm at the St. Andrews W.C. O’Neill arena theatre.

There will be discussions following the screenings of each of these films for those who are interested in hearing more or would like to comment, focusing in part on the local food initiatives that are underway in or planned for our region.

This project aims to bring awareness to the importance and also the rewards of eating local food and supporting food producers and processors in and near Charlotte County.
