Chesapeake Bay-area farmers who need help to incorporate methods of reducing nutrient pollution from their farms could get that help from the Federal Farm Bill. But it's not a done deal. Watch this story from WJZ-TV to see what's at stake, then join us in contacting your representatives in Congress to urge them to support the farm bill.
A documentary about last summer's Expedition Susquehanna was filmed in High-Definition by the PBS Scranton/Wilkes-Bar re region affiliate, WVIA.
“Expedition Susquehanna” will premiere on WVIA during PBS’s “Chesapeake Bay Week,” beginning April 19th. As part of the premiere, the eleven students, Don Baugh, CBF Vice President of Education, Harry Campbell, CBF’s Pennsylvania Staff Scientist, and Cindy Dunn, Director of the Bureau of Recreation and Conservation of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), will all participate in a one-hour live call-in program called “State of Pennsylvania.”
“State of Pennsylvania” will air at 7:00 p.m., with the full-length premier of “Expedition Susquehanna” at 8:00 p.m. “Expedition Susquehanna” will also air during Maryland Public Television’s Chesapeake Bay Week programming on Sunday, April 22nd at 5:00 p.m. Additional stations and air times are contingent on local PBS schedules.
Hi Folks,
I sure hope we'll see you there. We need your support to bring all of these connections together!
Food For Life Balance Show
Working Food and Farmscapes
Foodies (or not) and friends will want to attend an Annapolis show
held midday Saturday, January 2007. The event links the connection of
food, cooking and the land in a beautiful presentation of photographs, music and cooking held at the Anne Arundal Medical Center/Wellness.
Food For Life Balance workshop serves as a template for giving this program nationally with key players involved. Rita Calvert is putting the final touches on the show/workshop to be given with the sponsorship of Whole Foods/Annapolis, Clagett Farm of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Wendy Child and the medical center.
Beautiful animated photos of the farm (mostly Clagett)and food (styled or simply growing naturally) enhance the 3 hour event which includes a luscious lunch, live cooking demo, Eat For the Seasons, "Kit in a Can" and background music from the local artist, Mark Schatz of Nickel Creek.
