SHE ATE @ Rise & Root Farm

Forrest Fleur, New England’s FREAK of nature, brings her tantalizing farm drag production SHE ATE to Rise & Root Farm at Chester Agricultural Center in Chester, NY as part of her 2026 tour! Come OUT on the farm to celebrate nature, queer artistry, our local food system, and the resilience that is our community.

Forrest is joined by a rag-tag team of makers and movers, and welcomes local Upstate drag/burlesque icons and legends to the SHE ATE stage for one night only, so don’t miss your chance to taste the magic– we promise you’ll be salivating and hungry for more!

Tickets are sliding scale from $15 available online, and from $20 at the gates. Your $20 ticket most accurately reflects the costs of this production, but tiered options are available to help make the show more accessible to all. Our priority is ultimately bringing the community together at Rise and Root Farm and that cost should not be a barrier to anyone’s ability to attend; if this may be the case for you, please contact theforrestfleur@gmail.com and we will accommodate a solution. 

Accessibility notes: we are a working farm with uneven and unpaved ground. 

Forrest (any pronouns) is a drag artist, farmer, community organizer, and public health researcher currently based in Providence, RI. She has worked across the Northeast in her years doing drag, and made big splashes winning 5 crowns across multiple states. With SHE ATE, she aims to blend her love of nature, passion for visual and performance art, and her academic research in social and behavioral health to create welcoming, safe, and inclusive queer spaces throughout the rural and remote pockets of the region where they tend to be few and far between.

Rise & Root Farm is a QTBIPOC centered farm founded on love, chosen family and commitment to social justice. We are a certified organic diversified veg farm with educational programing in unceded Lenape territory in the Black Dirt region of New York. Over 80% of the food we grow goes to food access organizations in NYC and Orange County, NY. We work to uproot underlying systems of oppression in order to create liberation.

*Disclaimer: our goals for this event are to bring queer people in the community together, and we do not want to bar anyone who may benefit from accessing. If any parents are interested in bringing young queer folks along with them, they are welcome to do so at their own discretion; please note that the drag artists will not be censored or filtered in any manner, so do come expecting adult themes typical of a drag show, including but not limited to (partial) nudity, explicit language, or sexual themes.
