Arizona’s Good Food System Documentary
We invite you to join us for this insider’s view of the Arizona’s Good Food economy - all the beauty and attention that goes into feeding our community. From seeing how mushrooms are made to following as a farm deals with the loss of farmland to development and going foraging for food in the desert, witness first-hand the opportunities and obstacles facing the local food system in Arizona.
