FILM NIGHT
Hungry for change? The Mt Eliza Farmers’ Market is bringing the Oscarnominated film Food Inc to Mornington. If you eat then you must be interested in agriculture. Do you really know how your food is grown and processed before it reaches your table? This is a must see film. Food Inc will be screened at Mornington Cinema on Wednesday, September 29 at 7pm. Local farmers will be attending to share their stories about farming on the Peninsula and how sourcing local produce has huge benefits for our community, ecosystems and the planet. Mt Eliza Farmers’ Market manager Mel Wigg said $5 from each ticket sold will be donated to the Mt Eliza Primary School kitchen garden program, and post-film drinks will be held at the Brass Razu, where you can discuss the film over a glass of wine. Tickets are $15 each and are available from the market

MT ELIZA FARMERS’ MARKET The highly successful market operates on the fourth Sunday of each month at the Village Green, cnr Mt Eliza Way and Canadian Bay Rd, from 8am to 12.30pm. Market dates September 25, October 24, November 28. The market offers fresh produce and fantastic gourmet foods and beverages, with musicians and face painters adding to what is already a carnival atmosphere. Mel says the market, with its required quota of accredited stallholders, is hoping to become the first on the Peninsula to be accredited with the VFMA. “There are no on-sellers, re-packagers or craft and bric-abrac. It’s all about the food and having the choice to buy it direct from the source – it’s simple.”
