Tomatoes, Spirits, and Cinema: Closing the Loop with Ceres & Farm.One

September 14 · 6-8:30pm · Farm.One, Brooklyn

Both a community space and a vertical farm growing herbs, flowers, and greens, Farm.One is a hub of urban farming innovation in Brooklyn.

​Join Ceres and Farm.One for an evening of food, drinks, and films exploring how imagination can change what we consider food waste.

​Inspired by the tomato, the evening brings together Wen-Jay Ying, founder of Local Roots, and Joe McDowell, founder of Acid, a sustainable spirits company, for a collaborative food and drink experience featuring a living grazing table from Local Roots and cocktails crafted with ACID tomato spirit, custom distilled for this event.

​We’ll screen a selection of short films exploring sustainability, resourcefulness, and closed-loop food systems: from an homage to the tomato, to the UK’s first fine-dining zero-waste restaurant, to a story of innovation from sea to table.

​The evening comes together for a conversation moderated by FoodPrint director Jerusha Klemperer with Wen-Jay Ying and Joe McDowell. Together they will explore the challenges of transforming our food system and consider: what if waste is just a failure of the imagination?

​Afterward, guests are invited to stay, mingle, and continue enjoying food and drinks available at the bar through 8:30 PM.
