Milkwood Social: Film Night: Vanishing of the Bees

September 22, 2011 – 6:00 am

Roll up, roll up. It’s our very first film night in Mudgee! We thought we’d start with Vanishing of the Bees, an amazing doco about why organic beekeeping (and farming) is so darn important. And it’s free! Please join us for a local wine, a wood fired pizza and a great evening:

Wednesday 5th October, 6pm onwards at Roths Wine Bar, Mudgee NSW.

Our guest speaker for this event is Tim Malfroy, natural beekeeper extraordinaire. Tim has kindly offered to be a part of this evening and will attempt to answer questions raised by the film, which shouldn’t be a problem given his rather impressive knowledge of beekeeping, bees, and what the future may hold for them (and us).

The Greenhorns and Joel Salatin in Gerringong

July 22, 2011 – 6:00 am

The night before our workshop with Joel Salatin at Jamberoo, there’s going to be an awesome evening. It’s the Australian premiere of The Greenhorns, a new and funky film on young farmers. And Joel Salatin will be there, slurping soup and talking farming.

The Greenhorns is a great new film we discovered recently and have brought to Australia. It’s  made by young farmers, for young farmers, and for young wanna-be farmers. The Greenhorns tells it like it is: farming is hard work, a super worthy cause, and the ultimate in rebellion in the face of our current food system. Read More »

FRESH movie screening: Sydney May 28th

May 13, 2010 – 11:05 am
fresh movie

Milkwood is hosting a screening of new documentary FRESH at 7pm on Friday, May 28th, at Alexandria Park Community Center in Sydney. The screening is free and everyone’s welcome. Directions to the venue are here.

Come along and enjoy free organic popcorn as you watch (or perhaps re-watch) one of the best documentaries around on food as we know it and what we can do to reclaim good, clean fair food in the western world today. Following the film will be an open forum on possible strategies for local food systems in the Sydney basin and beyond.

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing their food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of their 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 all our food and our planet. Read More »
