Interweaving the personal and the political, the film is anchored in the filmmaker\u2019s relationship to her mom, a gardener and food activist who battled cancer during the film&#8217;s production. Their intimate mother-daughter quest for answers, fuelled by a shared love of food, reveals the extent to which the agribusiness industry controls our food policies, making a strong case for a more transparent and sustainable food system. A visual celebration of family legacy and the love of food, cooking, and gardening.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b style=\"font-size: large;\">Harvest Volunteers needed next week!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The fields are alive, we could use a hand with harvesting and processing all our beautiful produce!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #4da75d;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Come drop in any weekday between<\/span> <strong>9:00 AM &#8211; 12:00 PM.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Join us and get your hands dirty at the farm!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For more information on our volunteer program, check our website&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xroadsfarmliny.com\/volunteering\" target=\"_blank\">volunteer section<\/a>\u00a0or email volunteer@nassaulandtrust.org.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: large;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigns.softwhite.net\/Content\/Uploads\/4\/AUGUST%20volunteer.png\" alt=\"August Volunteer Dates \" width=\"400\" height=\"518\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigns.softwhite.net\/Content\/Uploads\/4\/COME%20DROP%20IN2.png\" alt=\"Come drop in!\" width=\"400\" height=\"518\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Mark your calendars!
