UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Center for Spiritual and Ethical Development (CSED) and the Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Student Farm, units of Penn State Student Affairs, will host a screening of John Chester's "The Biggest Little Farm." The film offers a vital blueprint for better living and a healthier planet in preparation for Earth Day.

The Penn State community is invited to attend the film screening at 7 p.m. April 15 in 127 Pasquerilla Spiritual Center. Refreshments will be available throughout the film in room 124.

"The Biggest Little Farm" chronicles John and Molly Chester's eight-year quest to trade city living for 200 acres of barren farmland and a dream to harvest in harmony with nature. Through their journey, the Chesters unlock and uncover a biodiverse design for living that exists far beyond their farm, its seasons and our wildest imaginations.

"I hope that all the viewers will see that a collaboration with nature offers infinite possibilities," said John Chester, film director. "Those possibilities that have evolved perfection over billions of years of evolution. They’ve never stopped working for us, maybe we’ve just been too distracted from seeing them."

The film features breathtaking cinematography, captivating animals and an urgent message to heed Mother Nature's call. More information on "The Biggest Little Farm" can be found on their website.

The Pasquerilla Spiritual Center is handicap-accessible and can provide captions. For more information on the event and accommodation requests, contact the Center for Spiritual and Ethical Development or the Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Student Farm.
