Earlier this year, we met two charming and dedicated filmmakers - Anne de Mare & Kirsten Kelly - who were touring with their spectacular “Asparagus! Stalking The American Life“. We loved the movie, and now love the people of Oceana County, MI.

For 30 years, Oceana County, MI has been the asparagus capital of the world. Now its residents and family farms take on the U.S. “War On Drugs”, Free Trade, and a Fast Food Nation, all to save their beloved “roots”.

Asparagus season, we miss you. You can watch the trailer here

There is a screening of the movie this Friday at 7:30pm at The Pawtucket Film Festival in Pawtucket, RI (the night before another big party that’s keeping us beyond busy)

Other upcoming screenings:

Calvin College Alumni Weekend – Grand Rapids, Michigan
Saturday, September 27, 2008 @ 2:00pm

Fremont District Library Food Series – Fremont, Michigan
