Movie Time! Food Forest 101

 

 

What is a food forest, and what does it look like in our backyard? Our neighborhood? Our community? What role do our feathered friends play in this perennial food system?

 

Come join the Austin and Central Texas Backyard Poultry Meetup for a cool topic…in the A/C!

 

 

Bring a finger food snack to share and join us for a summer food movie and discussion at the Sustainable Food Center headquarters. We'll be watching excerpts from the Establishing a Food Forest with Geoff Lawton dvd (with permission for public viewing granted from the Permaculture Research Institute and EcoFilms Australia). 

 

We'll also have special guests after the film, including Kirby Fry of Permablitz Texas and Elizabeth Walsh of the Festival Beach Food Forest project, to discuss their experiences with food forests, including some exciting upcoming food forest developments in Austin. 

 

This event is sponsored by the Austin and Central Texas Backyard Poultry Meetup in cooperation with the Sustainable Food Center.
