Ingredients, a feature length documentary film narrated by Actress Bebe Neuwirth and Directed by Robert Bates, captures the journey of the dynamic people behind the movement to bring good food back to the table, and health back to our communities. This captivating film illustrates how people around the country are working to revitalize the connection between food and the land, while celebrating the farm to table movement with vibrant cinematography and exploring solutions for creating a community based on the earth and seasonal food. Ingredients takes the viewer on a journey across the United States from the diversified farms of the Hudson River, to the urban food deserts of Harlem, to the inner labyrinths of celebrity kitchens of Greg Higgins, Alice Waters and Peter Hoffman.

So far this year POP Farmer Dan Bravin along with an army of volunteers and supporters have turned a long forgotten patch of county land into a thriving 2 acre vegetable farm.  From wall-to-wall blackberry brambles on June 1st to wall-to-wall vegetables just 3 months later.  This week marked 3000 lbs of vegetables donated to the Oregon Food Bank.  CROPS got a little press coverage this week.  You can see some of the video coverage in the links below.
