On Saturday the Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association (OEFFA, http://www.oeffa.org), the organization that provides our organic certification, presented a special pre-screening of the new movie “Food, Inc.” at the Drexel Theatre in Bexley (Columbus). There were also some notable speakers and a buffet dinner of delicious local & organic food from sponsors such as Flying J Farm, Whole Foods Market, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, Snowville Creamery, and more. Ohio Organic Family Farms was proud to provide moviegoers with half-pint bottles of our organic chocolate milk from local grassfed cows!

The movie examined various aspects of America’s industrial food system and provided lots of interesting “food for thought” about the ethicality, safety, and nutrient content of the foods we take for granted every day. One of the highlights of the film was an interview with Polyface Farms’s Joel Salatin, who extolled the practice of keeping grassfed, pastured cows. This is also what we at Ohio Organic Family Farms believe. Our farmers feed their cows grass as nature intended, and as a result our dairy products have a superior flavor and have been scientifically proven to contain more crucial nutrients (more on these studies later!).
The movie will be showing at the Drexel East (2254 E Main St., Bexley) through 7/23 /09 and we highly recommend it- if you eat, you owe it to yourself to learn the facts about where your food comes from!
