Giveaway: ‘Fresh’ ~ The Movie

by lydia on January 26, 2012

If you’ve hung out in the real food realm for any amount of time, you’ve most likely heard of the movie/film, ‘FRESH’. In case you have not run into it, here’s a brief overview…………………….

FRESH is more than a film; it is a reflection of a rising movement of people and communities who are re-inventing our food system. FRESH celebrates the food architects who offer a practical vision of a new food paradigm and consumer access to it. Encouraging individuals to take matters into their own hands, FRESH is a guide that empowers people to take an array of actions as energetic as planting urban gardens and creating warm composts from food waste, and as simple as buying locally-grown products and preserving seasonal produce to eat later in the year.

Throughout the film, we encounter the most inspiring people, ideas, and initiatives happening around the country right now. At the Growing Power urban farm in Milwaukee, Will Allen is turning three acres of industrial wasteland into a mecca of nutrition for his neighborhood. In Kansas City, we witness David Ball revitalize his community, turning the modern concept of the Supermarket on its head by stocking his stores with produce from a cooperative of local farmers. And, we journey to Joel Salatin’s farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to witness his methods for closing the nutrient cycle, allowing cows, chickens, pigs and natural grasses to flourish and produce without ever an ounce of chemical fertilizer or industrial animal feed.

FRESH tells the stories of ‘real people’ rediscovering ‘real food’. FRESH
represents a powerful way for you to educate yourself and your community on living a healthy, local and sustainable life through food.


“While “Food, Inc.” raised awareness about the consequences of consolidation, “Fresh” advances the argument by talking about solutions.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
Joel Salatin, one of my favorite real food activists and owner of Polyface farm, plays a big role in this movie. Watch the trailer!

My co-workers and I have been talking about this movie for at least 6 months, but haven’t seen it yet. If I win it, I’ll host a viewing party with them . . . and we might license it online for a public viewing in Denver (if we keep meaning to see it, but can’t find a place to do so – there must be other people like us. . . ) Great Giveaway!

Just found your site from a link on Pinterest (the Oil Pulling article), and am in love with it all! Thank you for so many wonderful, clear articles on how to live more holistically!

On another note, I’d love a copy of Fresh! I’m a novice filmmaker and a homesteading documentary is in the works! I’m so thankful for the many people who have gone to great lengths to get the word out about the dire food situation in our country.

I would like to win because I teach Wellness at a college in Baltimore MD, CCBC and I would show it to my classes which means LOTS of sharing and I would really like my students to see this movie. Good nutrition is a big part of the course.

Beth February 1, 2012 at 9:38 pm

I want this movie because I want to do this for my community – I want to show those around me that their small gardens can make a difference in their lives, in their neighbor’s lives with their health, their emotional state and their wallets. If everyone took advantage of whatever space they have and put it to use, it would be less dependence on big companies who are not out for our best interest.
