Mon
Food & Health Forum at Blue Moon Evolution with Stonyfield Farm CEO Gary Hirshfield
Start: 6:30 pm
We are thrilled to be partnering with one of Exeter's best restaurants, Blue Moon Evolution, for their new series, the Food & Health Forum: Cuisine, Community, Conversation. They have a fantastic lineup of authors, speakers, farmers, and other luminaries in the movement to bring more transparency and participation in the journey of food from farm to plate, including their first speaker, Gary Hirshfield, CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt and author of Stirring It Up: How to Make Money and Save the World.          Monday, January 23, 2011, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Inventing a "Win-Win-Win-Win-Win Future." Guest Speakers: Gary Hirshberg, President and CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm Much of the 20th century's social and economic development was built on mythological foundations—for instance: 1) The idea that the earth is a subsidiary of our economies, there for the taking and dumping.  2) The idea that the earth is infinitely resilient to withstand humans' abuse. Even the very fundamental allowance in our economic theories for "externalities," those direct consequences of our economic activities that do not appear on our income statements or balance sheets, and thus no one is held accountable for them.  3) Another myth is that food can be cheap. In fact, we now know there are significant nutritional, environmental and social costs incurred in the production of so-called cheap food. We just don't pay them at the supermarket check-out. The net result of businesses and an overall economic system founded on myths is that economic successes for one party or constituency are always at the expense of another. Someone or something always pays when one party wins.  Gary’s presentation will examine one company's 28-year effort to address those myths head-on;  to seek solutions that internalize externalities to the greatest extent possible, and that create the Win-Win-Win-Win-Win formulae in which the conditions for all stakeholders—shareholders, employees, farmers, consumers, even livestock—can be enhanced.  This is not only about how we can and must THINK differently but also about proven ACTIONS and RESULTS that can encourage us to embrace sustainability goals in all that we do. Location: Blue Moon Evolution, 8 Clifford Street, Exeter, New Hampshire Price: $70 per person includes three-course, locally sourced dinner, a glass of wine and the seminar.  A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire. www.nofanh.org Register for the event, read more about the mission of the Food & Health Forum and check out their other upcoming events.

Why Shop Indie?

For every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.

Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want.

You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s in the U.S. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal.

Even more reasons to shop indie...
