Eat at Bill’s! Movie Night with Rye Energy
Mark your calendars for February 26, when Rye Turning Green - the Rye Energy Committee presents the third in its Rye Eats Local movie series. Eat at Bill’s: Life in the Monterey Market is a video documentary about a family-owned produce market in Berkeley, CA. The focus is on Bill Fujimoto, the market’s owner. Bill’s enthusiasm and experience fuel the enterprise and illuminate the Market’s wide world of small growers and diverse customers.
The Monterey Market’s single store supports many dozens of small (and formerly small) farms. Bill’s determination to support the maximum number of small growers and his passion for connecting customers with the very best has attracted a small army of restaurant customers. Bay Area chefs know the Monterey Market’s back room is the place to find the season’s finest. This movie is a celebration of the Monterey Market’s diverse network of customers and suppliers, and a valentine to small enterprises everywhere. View a movie clip here and see a giant puffball!.
Local farmers will be on hand to share their thoughts and reactions. Join in the group discussion about connecting farmers to markets right here on the Seacoast. See you there!
