Movie: FRESH is coming to Phoenix & Tempe Area

Our schedule is for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. However, we said we’d slip posts in when appropriate. Saturday’s Phoenix Update and today’s release on FRESH, the movie, seem appropriate exceptions. Hope you enjoy.

FRESH is coming to the big screen in the Phoenix and Tempe area!

After thousands of community screenings and grassroots word-of-mouth, you can finally watch FRESH at the theater. FRESH will be shown at Tempe’s Madcap Theater on April 16th and 17th.

In the spirit of our grassroots model, we’ve organized a few local workshops, lectures and Farm to Table dinners to bring to life the message of the film.

So pick up your fork, stroll past some rare desert plants and discover new ways to support real food! Almost all FRESH Week event tickets include a redeemable voucher for a FRESH movie ticket at the Madcap, so what are you waiting for?

GET FRESH Phoenix!
