The first CSA distribution was on June 23rd and it turned out great!  Not only did a whole ton of people sign up to get fresh vegetables straight from the Angel family farm, quite a few passers by stopped in and asked how they could get their hands on some of those delicious vegetables.  It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day and the CSA probably had as much of a crowd going as the ice cream truck down the street.  Thanks to the Neighborhood School for letting the CSA set up on their doorstep, and a huge thank you to the Angel family for working so hard to bring fresh vegetables into the city every week!

We’re thrilled to see that the work of so many in New York City has resulted in getting rid of junk food in vending machines!

There lots more work to be done so kids can have healthier food in schools, but it is nice to have one small victory. Thanks to all who worked so hard on this.

One of Sadie and Safiyah’s goals in working on this film was to help start a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) with the Angel Family.

It’s happening now! Families are signing up to become members and then the Angels will drop off delicious veggies for members on Tuesdays between 3 and 6pm at the Neighborhood School in Manhattan.

We’re still taking sign-ups! Email: neighborhoodschoolcsa@gmail.com or check out http://tnscsa.wordpress.com/ for more info.

Here are some pictures from the recent trip to the farm to help plant.

What’s On Your Plate? got a Special Mention from the jury at the

Green Film Festival in Seoul!

Here’s what they said:

(…) the jury wanted to single out one film for special mention which we thought deserved recognition, and that is WHAT’S ON YOUR PLATE? by Catherine Gund. We thought this was engaging, funny, inspiring and uplifting – a film with a real feel-good factor which treated a serious subject in a way which drew us in, and didn’t turn us off. The two main characters, Sadie and Safiyah, were complete naturals and were the perfect vehicle for engaging younger audiences as well as Mums and Dads, so well done to WHAT’S ON YOUR PLATE? (…)
