One More Night: Farm to People | Tuesday, Oct 21, 2025
What does it take to start a farm when you’ve never farmed before?
Join us and find out on Tuesday, October 21st, for our last event for this festival season, in partnership with our friends at Farm to People. They’ve been with us all season (all that gorgeous produce decorating our venues!) and we’re screening The Big Raise, a documentary following BBC journalist Alexis Rowell and his partner, Blanche Lepetit, as they leave London to build a permaculture farm and learning center in France from scratch.
After the film, Martin Ping (Executive Director of Hawthorne Valley) joins us to talk about farming as education, the relationship between soil and community, and what it means to work with the land rather than against it.
📅 Tuesday, October 21 | 6 - 9 PM
Film starts at 6:30 PM
📍 Farm to People — 1100 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn
**Film runtime: 40 minutes, French with English subtitles
Thank you for celebrating with us! See you Tuesday!
Warmest,
The Ceres Team
