Farmers Club

Eating Alabama, by Andrew Beck Grace. "In search of a simpler life, a young couple returns home to Alabama where they set out to eat the way their grandparents did – locally and seasonally. But as they navigate the agro-industrial gastronomical complex, they soon realize that nearly everything about the food system has changed since farmers once populated their family histories. A thoughtful and often funny essay on community, the South and sustainability, “Eating Alabama” is a story about why food matters". 

The film focused mainly on just how different the food system is today compared to years ago, they presented the audience with the question "If there was no grocery stores, where would you get your food?" A simple question that I honestly had no answer to. I didn't know what I would do for food if grocery stores for some reason disappeared. All of this lead to the question, where does our food come from? They visited local farmers, local markets, even companies. I found it interesting that when they went to local farmer markets in search of fresh locally grown food, majority of the markets they went to - the food was labeled to show it was not grown locally.  The film definitely opens your eyes to the issue and gives you this urge to want to learn how to grow your own food or even just increase your knowledge of where it all comes from.
