The start of the Farmer’s Market Season means a ready supply of fresh, locally grown food products at the Camas Farmers Market. The market opens June 4 and will be open each Wednesday through early October. During the opening month, the Liberty Theatre will debut a month long series of films in which food is the headline attraction.
The series starting June 6th will kick off with the Spanish film, Tasting Menu. Tasting Menu is a crowd-pleasing blend of relationships, feuds, and broken dreams that are mended through the simple act of “breaking bread” and the universal appreciation of great food. In the tradition of foodie classics like Babette’s Feast, Big Night and Chocolat, Tasting Menu will leave you awash in a European sensation of joie de vivre.

Taking on a more serious note in week two of the series, the Liberty will present the documentary, Farmland. Farmland takes an intimate look at the lives of farmers and ranchers in their twenties, all of whom are now responsible for running their farming business. Learn about their high- risk/high reward jobs and passion for a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, yet continues to evolve. Farmland will show June 13-19. http://www.farmlandfilm.com/
Haute Cuisine, a French ensemble comedy will entertain food lovers during week three of the series (June 20-26). Based on the extraordinary true story of French President François Mitterand’s private chef, Haute Cuisine follows the impassioned and talented Hortense Laborie (Catherine Frot), a successful cook living in relative obscurity in the Périgord. Hortense’s indomitable spirit and tireless devotion to the art of authentic cuisine win her the President’s respect and affection, but also the fierce jealousy of the veteran chefs preparing 300-person state banquets.
