This is a series of events for local art and agriculture-based non-profit The Common Acre. ‘Art + Agriculture’ series features panelists from diverse backgrounds who (sometimes theatrically, sometimes scientifically) present their ideas of how our food systems might work in an ideal world, followed by audience conversation and mead-and-honey sampling. 

The first of these in the new year will take place at 21 Acres Farm on January 13th.
