Thursday, July 20th – Rooted follows the story of Germaine Jenkins, a rising star activist and urban farmer in Charleston, South Carolina — the hub of this country’s former slave trade. Germaine’s 5-year quest to gain ownership of the .8 acre parcel of land she calls Fresh Future Farm represents more than her struggle to grow healthy food to combat the toxic diet in her food desert community; as a present-day kind of sharecropper, it mirrors the historic struggle of the Black community in a dominant White system.

7pm Doors open. Enjoy live music by Aura Walmer and tabling with local organizations.

8:30pm Screening: Rooted

All people welcome. Guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets, chairs, food, and drinks to enjoy the evening on the Farm.

Jewish tradition imagines the weekly Sabbath (Friday to Saturday evening) as a queen. So, just like preparing a banquet for royalty, there’s a special opportunity each Sabbath eve to host folks at your table, and to uplift the moment not only through ritual but also through special food and drink. On Thursday evening, June 22nd join a star line up — Director of Jewish Life Rebecca Joy Fletcher, sommelier Nora Mitchell (CRF outdoor educator), and chef Julia Meyer (CRF Post-Harvest and Distribution Coordinator) – as we guide you outside at our Coastal kitchen in a hands-on exploration into the wonderful world of cocktails, mocktails, and Farm fresh produce appetizers fit for a queen. Because why shouldn’t you and your guests feel like royalty sometimes too?

 The Blue Forest is the first comprehensive film focusing on the important topics of kelp and seaweed around the world. The film also explores how we can preserve one of the world’s most productive habitats. Kelp forests are recognized as one of the most complex and vital ecosystems on Earth, easily comparable to the Amazon forest. They are crucial to the health and survival of our planet, but sadly we are at risk of losing them.

Doors open at 7:00pm. All people welcome. Guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets, chairs, food, and drinks to enjoy the evening on the Farm.

Live music, mingling, and a chance to speak with local organizations and individuals from the community until screening begins.
