Fresh


Last Saturday the GGM, NFP had their screening of the documentary “Fresh.” For those who couldn’t make it and would like to see the film, please contact us at info [at] genevagreenmarket [dot] org to set up a screening for smaller audiences.

This movie will put a smile on your face with the understanding of how the conventional agribusiness machine works, because you will know you don’t have to be any part of it.  The hope and inspiration will have a lasting impression. For our health, our children and our future. I highly recommend the whole family come, watch and be inspired.  Karen Stark, Geneva Green Market, NFP

The screening is for the purpose of educating the general public on the importance of eating healthier, locally grown food. Those in attendance will learn why this is such an important movement and how they can participate.
