This is a short film made by Terra, a 'collaborative filmsource' associated with the MFA program in Science and Natural Filmmaking at Montana State University. I stumbled across this piece called 'Montana Fare' and thought it was stunning. Definitely check it out. brief description below.
MONTANA FARE examines contemporary food culture in rural Montana through the eyes of two women (farmer/rancher Jenny Sabo (Harrison, MT) and Native American tribal elder Minerva Allen (Lodge Pole, MT on the Ft. Belknap Res)) who try to feed their families while living 50 miles from the nearest grocery store.

Very Sad Week for the Garden
Hey everybody,
I know everyone is tied up with their internships and school load so just reading this is a courtesy. I appreciate your time, and I hope all is going well!
This Monday, The Hattie Carthan Community Garden (where I'm interning) was set ablaze. We're not sure who or what caused the fire yet, but it damaged almost $15,000 worth of community funding in equipment, reserves, and supplies for the Garden.
If you can help spread the word to our fellow Brooklynite Food Justice peeps (your internship sites or friends who are active in our movement) it would really help the Garden recover. Just keep us in the back of your minds and in your conversations and I know that somehow, someone will find the time to lend a hand.
It's in the midst of these kinds of catastrophes that we need to mend each others wounds in order to be stronger as a community.
We have a series of fundraisers underway, and I've created a blog that everybody can reference to see how to help out.
