Sustainable Food CenterOn Tuesday, August 25, Edible Austin, Alamo Drafthouse, and the Front Porch Project are hosting a Film Feast at Boggy Creek Farm to support the Sustainable Food Center.

Starting at 7 PM, the event will include cocktails and conversation; a locally-sourced picnic from Alamo chefs John Bullington and Trish Eichelberger; and a screening of the movie FRESH, which “celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system.”

Tickets, which include drinks, dinner, and the movie, are $35. They may be purchased in advance only online at Alamo Drafthouse. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to spread out on the lawn as seating is limited.

The Sustainable Food Center is an Austin-based nonprofit which works to “cultivate a healthy community by strengthening the local food system and improving access to nutritious, affordable food. SFC envisions a food secure community where all children and adults grow, share and prepare healthy, local food.”

Through their Grow Local, Farm Direct, and The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegreā„¢ projects, SFC is improving the lives of children and families throughout the Austin area.

Nourish your body, your brain, and your community by attending the Film Feast on August 25.
