Down to Earth

You've heard me talk about Ryman Maxwell and his Down to Earth Cafe in Perkasie.  He was one of our Fresh panelists for last summer's screening and has a great place to get local and organic food in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.  (Here's my Bucks County Taste article from last January about the cafe.)

The cafe was recently featured in a "Let's Do Lunch" with Aditi Roy of Channel 10 news.  If you missed it, here's the link to the segment.  What a great way for one of our locals to get some air time!

The Down to Earth Cafe is located in the Glenwood Shopping Center, 1141 N 5th St., Perkasie, PA, 18944.  You can call them at 215-258-CAFE.  Stop in sometime for some great eats.

Congrats, Ryman!

Fresh

A couple weeks ago, I wrote briefly about an event taking place on June 24--a screening of the Fresh: The Movie.  Here's some more information.

The film will be shown at The County Theater in Doylestown at 7:00 PM.  It profiles farmers, thinkers and businesspeople who are trying to change the food culture in our country to forge healthier, sustainable alternatives to agri-business. 

Following the film will be a discussion with experts in local vegetable farming, cattle farming, locavore dining and more!  Included in the panel will be myself, Lynne Goldman of Bucks County Taste, Ryman Maxwell of Down to Earth Cafe, Tom Murtha of Blooming Glen Farm CSA, Henry Rosenberger of Tussock Sedge Farm and (possibly) more.  Share your thoughts on these topical issues and have your questions answered by people who are doing these things right in our area.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance by going to www.countytheater.org/store (click on "event tickets").

Even if you can't attend, you can help us to spread the word by telling people about it.  If you'd like a poster to post or share via email, let me know and I'll send one out to you.  It should be an informative, thought-provoking and fun evening.  Hope to see you there!
