Documentary features local food cooperatives

A story in the Southwest Journal highlights a documentary film, “Food for Change,” which features a number of local food cooperatives.

“The Twin Cities enjoys the greatest concentration of food co-ops in the country,” the story reads.

This fact piqued the interest of Steve Alves, a Massachusetts filmmaker.

He wound up producing “Food for Change,” which includes footage of The Wedge Natural Foods Coop and Linden Hills Co-op in Minneapolis and Eastside Food Co-op in St. Paul.

““Food for Change” was recently screened at the United Nations as part of the 2012 International Year of Cooperatives, and many local co-ops provided funding for the project,” the story reads.

Wedge membership and marketing manager Elizabeth Archerd is quoted in the story, saying, “We have such a rich history in the food co-op world, and our founders are maturing,” adding, “Their stories need to be told. ... We were on board right away.”
