Tuesday: Arise event on taking control of our food supply

Next Tuesday, September 24, The Arise Free School and Green Committees will be hosting a discussion with food issue expert and national agricultural journalist Zachary Lyons of Seattle's Chef's Collaborative at 7 pm. at Christ Church Cathedral, 35 Chestnut St., Springfield. Joining him will be Jessica Collins from Live Well Springfield and members from the urban youth agriculture project Garden the Community.

At issue: What if we could make sure that everyone in our community had access to healthful, delicious, low-cost food to nourish us now and into the future?
