F.E.A.S.T.

2018 – ongoing

Hosted in unique rural based venues F.E.A.S.T. [Farming. Environment. Agriculture. Sustainability. Tabled] brings people together and encourages debate by linking social, environmental, scientific and cultural thinking in an artful way and over food. Artworks and films are shared along with plant and animal-based meals made using locally sourced ingredients, including surplus food.

Created with Liz Genever, a scientist and agricultural consultant, in response to the lack of understanding across sectors. F.E.A.S.T. builds on our individual specialisms and our roles as farmers. Each event is opened with a specific provocations from both the arts and science. We welcome guests with a wide range of interests, backgrounds and specialisms.

To date we have hosted:

A series of weekend long residencies in Uffington and Caythorpe and Frieston village halls, which included the exhibiting of 5 artists from the area and a collaboration with 2 cooks.
Film screenings with panel discussions and food made by local cooks.
Facilitated farm walks and tours with afternoon tea.
A ‘F.E.A.S.T on ideas’ event via Zoom during lockdown.
“Specialists” afternoons, with cake, featuring people such as metal detectorists and ecologists.

Events are either free or low cost enabling engagement for all.
