Come together with friends and neighbors to learn about the work that the community farm is doing to increase access to growing and eating nutritious food in Southwest Philadelphia. Arrive early to explore our plots, see what we are growing, and learn how to get involved.
Enjoy dishes cooked by community members featuring ingredients grown right here at the farm. And experience a unique rhythmic, culinary experience with a performance by our very own chef and farmer Ben “Corn” Miller and percussionist Shakoor Hakeem.
After dinner, we will watch a work-in-progress cut of a short documentary directed by artist-in-residence Gabrielle Patterson. The film highlights the food traditions of some of our farm stewards and stories of community connection through growing and eating food at the farm. Gabrielle and The People’s Kitchen were awarded the Leeway Foundation Media Artist + Activist Residency last fall, and they have collaborated this year to increase the outreach and impact of the farm within the neighborhood and the larger Southwest Philadelphia community.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors for a night you don’t want to miss. We’ll see you there!
