HAPPY RAINY MONDAY!

Verbena Bird here checking in from the Sunshine state... on this rainy Monday.. today I was supposed to meet up with a friend on the Saint Johns River.. but our date got canceled due to the stormy weather so I have been home making jewelry today & shipping out some new orders. Oh & I am thinking of all of you.. hope everyone is great!
The Ocala Organic Food & film festival was a lot of work but we had a terrific turnout & I got to meet so many new & interesting people. Some of the movies shown I highly recommend for you to check out.. you will see the food you eat in a whole new way... good luck.

Academy Award-nominated "Food Inc." will be shown at 11:00 a.m. "Food Inc." is an eye-opening documentary that exposes the underbelly of large-scale industrial farming, the source of 97% of our food. Rated PG. Preview: http://www.foodincmovie.com/ (Click on “Watch the Trailer” about halfway down the left side)
* "The Future of Food," at 1:00 p.m., is an excellent expose of genetically modified food. "The Future of Food" takes viewers inside the web of market and political forces that are causing our supermarkets to be stocked with Frankenfoods. The film also exposes how huge multinational corporations are seeking to control the world’s food system. Rated G. Preview: http://www.thefutureoffood.com/Trailer.html
* At 3:00, "What's Organic About Organic?" will take viewers on a heartening visual field-trip to organic, chemical-free farms. This uplifting, 60-minute film will be introduced by its co-producer, Marty Mesh, who is the director of Florida Organic Growers. FOG will be present at the Festival all day to educate attendees about organic food, farming and certification. Rated G. Preview: http://whatsorganicmovie.org/watch-the-trailer/
