Reinheitsgebot Beer and Chemical Free Food: A Celebration of the local Food Chain

Agriculture has lost its image as the wholesome provider of food and the base of human civilization. Large farms are now viewed as a major source of environmental pollution and processed food is associated more and more with the health crisis in this country.

The Weeping Radish has worked for over seven years to build a farm-brewery-butchery complex in Jarvisburg, North Carolina, with the following goals:
> The Craft Brewer creates natural unfiltered beer draft and in refillable bottles.
> The Master Butcher buys animals from local farms and creates a variety of fresh and smoked meat products, all labeled by Farm of Origin.
> The 14 acre farm produces vegetables, eggs and herbs for retail and for the Chef.
> The Chef creates meals for the onsite restaurant based on availability of fresh meats and vegetables, not based on a pre-set menu.
> The Farm Retail Barn features a “Goodness grows in North Carolina” section and promotes educational tours.
> Festivals and Events throughout the year promote a sense of community and provides charities with fund raising facilities.
This is the ultimate project featuring all the elements of sustainable farming, educating the urban population and integrating it with the now famous Terra Madre concept.
