Brooklyn Food Conference Park Slope Food Co-op, John Jay H.S., PS 321
Just want to let those here in Brooklyn know about an exciting event happening this weekend. The Brooklyn Food Conference is two days of films, workshops, a parade, kids activities and more.
Best if all, it is free for everyone!
It kicks off with a screening of Fresh! at the Park Slope Food Co-op Friday night. All day Saturday we're going old school, really. The classrooms of John Jay High School and PS 321 in Park Slope will be filled with Brooklynites of all kinds, united by an interest in understanding our food system. If you have the day off, maybe take a look at the workshop schedule and see if anything grabs you.
Let me know if you plan on attending, I'd love to meet up!
About Me
- Berlin Reed
- Berlin Reed is the butcher, chef and author behind the The Ethical Butcher. His practice is driven by community engagement, personal relationships with small local farmers, a deep love of food, respect for the animals we eat and the environment on which we depend. After training as a butcher in Brooklyn, he was based in Portland, OR for 2 years. He then began a life of continuous travel, bouncing around the continent as a community chef/butcher and learning about local food scenes everywhere. He has poured his experiences as a nomadic ex-vegetarian butcher and renegade chef into a food memoir titled 'The Ethical Butcher: How Thoughtful Eating Can Change Your World', out on Soft Skull in Spring 2013. This blog is no longer active but serves as an archive of Berlin's early culinary work.
