SUMMARY:Backyard Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:The 6th rendition of the BackyardFarmTour will take place the weekend following Labor day\, Sept. 12-13.  Still to be determined is if it will be 1 or 2 days. As always we will seek out some new places and revisit some of our old favorites. The BYFT is largely self selecting\, so let me know if you are interested in participating this year.  I also appreciate any other other ideas or input you may have.  Of course the key part of putting the BYFT together is finding the farms and gardens to be on it.  I appreciate any and all leads. Even if it is just a place you drove by that looks good. \nVolunteers on the organizational side are sought\, too. \nWe are having another fabulous year for gardening in Central Oregon\, so how could we not have another fabulous BackyardFarmTour? \nFollow BYFT developments on at http://backyardfarmtour.com where you can get our RSS feed\, subscribe to our email list or at our Facebook page\, http://facebook.com/Backyardfarmtour.

SUMMARY:Seeds of Death Film
DESCRIPTION:Every single independent study conducted on the impact of genetically modified food shows that it damages organs\, it causes infertility\, it causes immune system failure\, it causes holes in the GI tract\, and it causes multiple organ system failure.  BigAg has built an industrial model which doesn’t fit nature\, so they’re changing nature by inserting genes of completely different species and tolerance to huge doses of chemical poisons.  The film asks the question\, should we allow the future of food security to rely on GMOs and Monsanto?  80 minutes.  Free showing! \nAt the Deschutes Downtown Library\, Brooks Room
