2010 is the year for changing the way we eat and thinking about what we are putting in our bodies. As STL members we have the ability through a local company, Destiny Organics, to start our own "Sky's the Limit" CSA (community supported agriculture), where members can purchase organic produce, dairy, meat, etc. at reduced costs. With as little as 20 members, we can use our buying power as a group to get the best organic ingredients at great prices. We will have a detailed discussion about everything the CSA entails, the benefits and how to sign up.
We would also like to you to join us for an evening viewing of the excellent and eye opening documentary "Food Inc."
How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families?
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.
Please bring a healthy snack to share, we will also be providing drinks and some snacks!!
Hope to see you there!!!
We have changed the venue to an apartment community clubhouse in order to accomodate everybody! The clubhouse is located in the Centennial Ridge Apartment Community in Roswell, GA. From GA 400, take exit 7A/ Holcomb Bridge Rd. Continue on Holcomb Bridge for 2 miles. Centennial Ridge is on your left at 100 Calibre Creek Pkwy. Please pull through the gates (They should be left up for this event) and continue straight past the leasing office until you see the "club" on your right hand side. Parking is right in front of clubhouse.
We have imposed a $2.50 charge in order to help pay for the clubhouse, so we don't have to split the group!!!
I am working on finding somewhere bigger to hold this so we can get all the people on the waiting list in...if not, we will just hold another one asap! I will let you know as soon as I do! Thanks :)
Already saw the movie (highly recommend it), but would love to learn more about joining the STL CSA if it gets set up:).
If anyone can't make it to the meeting tonight, but would still like info sent to them about the csa, please write me at triciamonette@gmail.com and I will send you the same info I am passing out at the meeting tonight.
Thanks!
Refunds are not offered for this Meetup.
If we get a lot of people on the waiting list, we will post the same event again, very soon! So please put yourself on the waiting list if you are interested :)
