Join Farm Fresh RI and Local 121 for a screening of the humorous documentary King Corn this Wednesday 9/24 at 7pm in the Local 121 speakeasy:

In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most- productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm.

If you’re hungry, come early for a delicious $15 dinner buffet at 6pm. The movie will be followed by a trailer for the Greenhorns, a forthcoming documentary about young American farmers and what inspires them to grow food for our country.
