Good Food

Sustainable Food and Farming in the Pacific Northwest

Something remarkable is happening in the fields, ranches and orchards of the Pacific Northwest. Family farmers are making a comeback. They're growing much healthier food, and lots more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms. And most of this food is organic.

" an exhilarating look at the Northwest's growing number of small organic farms and co-ops, and the grocery outlets and consumers that support them. The film chronicles a veritable revolution going on all around us in which large numbers of people are turning their backs on the evil ways and unhealthful products of industrial agriculture and finding a whole new relationship with the food they eat and the land that surrounds them."

(The film) is not out to scare us with an environmental horror story so much as to inspire us with some of the amazing things Northwest people are doing in this arena and convince us that one of the best things we can do for the planet is to buy our food from regional small farms."

William Arnold, Seattle Times

"Couldn't be more timely! A film made to awaken our taste buds and our courage--to create a food system aligned with what the earth needs and what our bodies yearn for. GOOD FOOD shows us it's possible. It's happening!"

Diet for a Small Planet, Hope's Edge

For decades Northwest agriculture was focused on a a few big crops for export. But to respond to climate change and the end of cheap energy, each region needs to produce more of its own food and to grow food more sustainably. Good Food visits producers, farmers' markets, distributors, stores, restaurants and public officials who are developing a more sustainable food system for all.
