Between now and November 28th, thanks to FamilyFarmed.org and SnagFilms , there’s an easy and free way to stream movies about food, vote for your favorites, all while entering to win a years worth of organic food and sustainable cleaning products.

We learn so effectively through art.  Seems like that’s a theme for me this month given my recent post about Rodale’s new gallery. Another example of a way to learn about sustainable agriculture while celebrating food is through film.  And that’s exactly what FamilyFarmed.org and SnagFilms have teamed up to encourage.  The groups joined together to form Good Food Film Countdown.  Starting with 200 food film options, a mix of both narrative and documentary films, voting for the first round concluded October 31st.  Voting on the 10 finalists continues through November 28^th.  Vote Here.

The finalist are; in narrative Ratatouille, Chocolat, Julie and Julia, Fried Green Tomatoes and Like Water for Chocolate. In documentary, Food Inc, Supersize me, King Corn, The Future of Food and Kings of Pastry lead in votes.  See and stream the finalists here.
