Good Food-Documentary on local NW food production on KCTS Channel 9 Thursday Night at 10 pm

KCTS public television is broadcasting "Good Food," a documentary on local food production in the Northwest. It is being shown at 10 pm Thursday 11/12/09.

The preview looks like it would be well worth watching. I am attaching a link to the film's website. I noticed the video is for sale ($275) or rent ($95), so catching the broadcast tonight is the way to go.

This was a great documentary, taking a good look at E WA and W WA organic farms. Organic dairy, organic veggies, grain, fruits, utilizing some of the tools of industrial ag (mechanized equipment, powered irrigation, etc.,.) but also lots of handwork in other farms. Some Whatcom and Skagit organic farms also featured. David Suzuki is one of the commentators in the film. The film looks at the entire food process: seeds to plants, harvest to market. I managed to tape most of it (VHS) and it could be a good film to watch as a group sometime.
