Dear Friends,
This Monday at Farm.One, we’re gathering to reimagine food waste and talk about it together. The tomato is our starting point.
Wen-Jay Ying of Local Roots is creating a living grazing table for the evening, while the ever-innovative Joe McDowell of Acid Spirits has custom distilled a Tomato Spirit that will be featured in the cocktails. And every guest will leave with a gift of a 4 oz bottle of it to take home in a classy Ceres tote.
To get us all more excited
We wanted to share two short videos where Joe and Wen-Jay show us a bit about their craft.
An evening designed to move through
The same theme runs through the three short films we’ll screen Monday: from an ode to the tomato, to the UK’s first fine-dining zero-waste restaurant, to discarded clam shells transformed into sculptural objects.
The full short film program will screen twice in a dedicated screening space, at 6:20 PM and 6:40 PM, leaving guests free to choose a screening while enjoying food, drinks, and conversation throughout the evening.
At 7 PM, the evening comes together for a conversation moderated by FoodPrint director Jerusha Klemperer with Wen-Jay and Joe, exploring what it takes to rethink waste across our food system. Afterward, the bar and grazing table stay open until 8:30, with time to keep drinking, eating, and talking.
More details and tickets here.
Hope to see you there!
Warmly,
Maayan and the Ceres team
