Feast on This

Keene State’s Campus Ecology and President’s Council for a Sustainable Future will support the second annual _Feast on This _film festival (September 14-20) with two events on campus this fall. Sponsored by the Cheshire County Conservation District’s Monadnock Farm & Community Connection (MFCC), the festival hopes to raise food, farming, and nutrition awareness. Events will be held in various locations throughout the Monadnock region. The two campus events are:

Saturday , September 19:

7 p.m. The Garden (Parker Hall - Drennan Auditorium):

From the ashes of the LA riots, a lush, 14-acre community garden grows - the largest of its kind in the U.S. Bulldozers are poised to destroy this spot where South Central LA farmers grow their own food, feed their families, and create community.

Monday, September 14:

7 p.m. America’s Heartland (Mabel Brown Room, Student Center)

This PBS show celebrates our nation’s agriculture; it includes clips filmed in New England with the producer’s commentary on the making of the show.

The Monadnock Farm and Community Connection is a program designed to increase public knowledge about the value of local agriculture, while supporting the region’s farmers. For more information, contact the Cheshire County Conservation District at 603-756-2988, ext. 116, or Amanda.costello@nh.nacdnet.net. Suggested donation for the films is $5, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds will benefit the Keene Community Kitchen.
