Chipolte Sustainable Food Film Series

Denver Botanic Gardens and Chipotle Mexican Grill are teaming up for the 2012 Sustainable Food Film Series. The series includes post-film panel discussions, and allows members of the community to embrace films relating to sustainable food practices, organic farming and community agriculture.

As the presenting sponsor, Chipotle will provide free, sustainable snacks before each film, as well as participate in Q&A sessions after the showings. Chipotle’s vision of Food With Integrity has led to a long track record of working to improve the nation’s food supply, that includes a commitment to source ingredients for more sustainable sources includes.

Specifically this year, Chipotle plans to serve only naturally raised meats, sour cream from pasture-raised dairy farms, produce grown from local farms, and have cheese served at its restaurants produced with dairy from pasture-raised cows.

The Sustainable Food Film Series features showings of: “American Meat” on Thursday, Oct. 11

 “Cafeteria Man” on Wednesday, Nov. 14

“Queen of the Sun – What are the Bees Telling Us?” on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

Time: Movies begin at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Location: All films and discussions will take place inside Mitchell Hall at Denver Botanic Gardens. Cost: Free ($10 suggested donation)
