Slow Food Athens Presents "GROW!"

Slow Food Athens presents "GROW!," which takes a look at a new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 passionate, idealistic and fiercely independent young growers in Georgia. In the film they speak of both the joys and the challenges involved in tending the land. "Grow!" was filmed on 12 farms throughout the state of Georgia during an entire growing season and provides an honest and inspiring look at this next generation of farmers. 

Filmmakers Christine Anthony and Owen Masterson will be there to introduce their film. And several of the farmers in the film will be attending the showing to comment on their experience and to answer questions after the showing. 

Anybody who appreciates the value of good, wholesome food grown close to home, who cares about our food supply and the future of farming will want to see "GROW!"

Farm 255 on West Washington St. will celebrate the June 7 showing of the movie GROW! by offering a Seasonal Prix Fixe Dinner before the show. A special menu with the bounty of Full Moon and other local farms will be served. Seating will be limited and offered only at 5:30, 5:45, and 6:00 PM in order to get to the showing on time. Reservations should be made through Farm 255 by Friday, June 3 by calling 706-549-4660. Coupons for this Dinner and Movie Special must be purchased in advance at Ciné. The price is $30 per person, which includes tax and the ticket to the show. Remember, seating is limited for this special dinner; but you can always enjoy a relaxing dinner at Farm 255 after the show from their a la carte menu.
