SUPPORT LOCAL FOOD AND FILM The Good Food Film Series shares stories of local farmers and chefs Local First Arizona’s Good Food Finder is a resource for farmers, restaurants and food buyers, offering several programs, including the Good Food Film Series with independent short films documenting stories from Arizona food producers. The final installment of films launched in December 2021. “Our final installment of the Good Food Film Series focuses on the future of our local food economy and how we can get involved in building a more equitable and sustainable food system that supports our Arizona communities,” said Somlynn Rorie, manager of food and farms initiatives at Local First Arizona. “The film series has introduced many local food players and the work they are doing to safeguard our ability to nourish and feed Arizonans.” The winter film series includes: • “How Arizona Farmers Survive a Pandemic,” which features several Arizona farmers and highlights how they endured the challenges of the pandemic and how they are continuing to survive. • “From Farm to Restaurant” highlights Valley chefs and restaurateurs, sharing how local produce makes a massive difference in taste, the Arizona economy and their connection with farmers across the state. • “Addressing Inequity in Arizona’s Food System” highlights accessibility and how where food comes from makes a difference for our economy and the health of Arizonans, and how we can build a stronger food system together. Films from the series can be viewed online for a fee, with proceeds supporting Local First Arizona’s food programs. In addition to the Good Food Film Series, Good Food Finder AZ hosts two annual events to bring together leaders of the local food movement and strengthen industry networks — the Arizona Food and Farm Forum and the Arizona Good Food Expo. As part of its work to strengthen local economies and connect the community, Local First Arizona is collaborating with the City of Phoenix on the Feed Phoenix initiative, which brings together chefs, restaurants and farmers to provide food to people impacted by COVID.
