Local foods and farmers to be celebrated at Sontes Restaurant
What: Coming to Rochester on Friday, July 20, the acclaimed new documentary AmericanMeat chronicles America’s grassroots revolution in sustainable meat production. The film, an official selection of Food Day 2011, explains our current industrial meat system, and shows the feedlots and confinement operations, not through hidden cameras but through the eyes of the farmers who live and work there.
The film then shifts to the burgeoning sustainable, local-food movement made up of farmers, food advocates, chefs and everyday folks who could change everything about the way meat reaches the American table. The film stars Joel Salatin, the legendary Virginia farmer who leads a movement of meat producers who raise their animals outdoors and without antibiotics. The film frames the debate on whether sustainable meat production could ever meet the needs of consumers and showcases farmers who believe they can.
Where & When: Food event 5:15-6:30 p.m., Fri. July 20, at Sontes Restaurant, 4 Third St., Rochester, featuring locally grown foods from Fairview Farms, Alemar Cheese, Whitewater Garden, Marshall Farms, Hart Family Farms and Pronschinske Elk prepared by Chef Bryce Lamb and his team. Film and panel discussion at 7 p.m. at Heinz Center (RCTC), 1926 Collegeview Rd. SE.
Who: Following the film, panel discussion will include the filmmaker, Graham Meriwether; Tessa Leung, owner, Sontes Restaurant of Rochester (or Chef Bryce Lamb of Sontes); David Kotsonas, market manager of the Rochester Downtown Farmers Market, which supports sustainable agriculture with 100 vendors within 50 miles of Rochester; Lisa and Eric Klein, owners and operators, Hidden Stream Farm of Elgin, who raise and direct market natural pork, pasture-raised chicken and grass-fed beef in Rochester and Twin Cities; Dan Litwiler, founder of Livable Rochester and president of board, Good Food Co-op.
Cost: Film and panel discussion, $10 online at AmericanMeatFilm.com, or $10 at door. Food Event $25/person, Call the restaurant at 507 292-1628 for reservations or book through eventbrite.com
Why: Sustainable farming is expanding exponentially as Americans learn more about their food and how to connect with local farmers, a movement much in evidence in Rochester and Southeast Minnesota. Here is a film that celebrates these farmers and, in an unbiased way, allows all farmers and food advocates to discuss solutions to our common challenges. Most importantly, the film provokes a spirited but constructive conversation about one of the most important issues in our lives -- our food.
