Where does our food come from? Why does it matter?

To explore the answers to these important questions, Fair Food Matters and its community partners* hosted southwest Michigan's first Fair Food Film Festival in 2008. We offered a variety of intriguing films - from quirky to educational. Check back soon to find out the status of our next series of presentations.
