Ed Mahon offered this preview of the Farm Tour in yesterday’s Centre Daily Times.

Robert Kenner’s documentary about the American agricultural-industrial complex, Food, Inc. is coming to The State Theatre at the end of the month. The film runs from Friday, August 21 through Thursday August 27. Show times vary between 4:00pm, 7:00pm, and 9:30pm.

Central Pennsylvania’s 4th annual Local Foods Week and Farm Tour are coming up the first week of August. This year’s Local Foods Week runs from Saturday August 1st through Saturday August 8th. The Farm Tour is Saturday, August 8th from 12:30pm through 5:00pm.

I’m planning to visit a few sites. I’ve been out to Full Circle Farms about once a week this season and will probably stop in during the tour. I’m also planning to visit a few other local places I haven’t yet visited, but I haven’t had a chance to look at the map closely enough to figure out which ones.

Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics and What To Eat, will be appearing at Penn State University on April 1 at 7:00 p.m. In a taping of WPSU’s “Common Ground Lobby Talks,” Nestle will discuss food politics with host Patty Satalia and will take questions from the studio audience.

I plan to attend this event. You can RSVP via WPSU’s Facebook page.
