Lecture [Return to listing page]
Cahners Theater
With Susan Orlean, staff writer, The New Yorker; author, The Orchid Thief. This presentation is part of the ongoing series DIY.
Love the idea of having your own Rhode Island Red that produces fresh eggs every morning, your own quirky chickens to name, or a chartreuse chicken house in the yard? The backyard chicken movement is raging across America as more people learn where our food comes from and take matters into their own hands. Join writer Susan Orlean for the inside scoop on her adventures in chicken-raising and how you too can join the movement.
Seating is limited. Passes are available in the Museum lobby beginning at 5:45 p.m. on the day of the program. First come, first served. Museum members may reserve a limited number of seating passes in advance.
