It’s an initiative to help more people get started on growing their own food by providing the tools\, the seeds\, the space and the knowledge to begin gardening. \nTo celebrate this relaunch\, NGM will be hosting a film screening of a selection of the National Farmers Union’s newly released short film series\, Depth of Field\, which profiles farmers across the country. Two of the Alberta-based farmers showcased in the films will be joined by Caitlyn from the local farm\, Good Thymes Garden\, for a farmer speaking panel between the films. NGM’s Rebecca MacLeod will be facilitating an exciting discussion with the farmers about local food\, sustainability and their farming experiences. \nWe are thrilled to share the evening with a number of special guests. A collection of incredible food organizations in Edmonton are invited\, so make sure to stop by their tables and learn about the wonderful opportunities to get involved in Edmonton’s food community as you mingle between films. \nEdmonton’s own Sip Liquor and Garneau Block will also be on scene with Alberta-made drinks and natural wines.
