RESTAURANT EDITION: Hot off the heels of Houston’s massive Restaurant Week extravaganza, we take some time to celebrate the growing number of Houston restaurants that focus on serving local and sustainably produced foods.
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity.
Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.

Come Early for August's Green Mixer
Starting at 5:30, Houston Green Scene will be hosting the August Green Mixer at Taft Street Coffee. This casual mixer/collaboration event is where green-minded, green-curious and green-friendly people meet to see what's happening in the Green Scene. We will be highlighting local, green businesses, organizations and sustainable-oriented efforts.
If you are a green professional, own a green business, or are just looking to connect with the green community-don't miss it!
Don't Watch This Film Alone!
We believe screening FRESH can create a ripple effect and help us reach a tipping point where sustainable food is no longer a niche market but mainstream. If you share this film with just 10 people, you are helping tremendously in our journey towards a more sustainable food system.
