The Biggest Little Farm

The Biggest Little Farm
March 2, 2019 Christina Mullin

The Biggest Little Farm is a testament to the immense complexity of nature. The film follows two dreamers and a dog on an odyssey to bring harmony to both their lives and the land. John and Molly Chester make a choice that takes them out of the city and onto 200 acres in the foothills of Ventura County, CA, naively endeavoring to build one of the most diverse farms of its kind in complete coexistence with nature. The land they have chosen, however, is utterly depleted of nutrients and suffering from a brutal drought. The film chronicles 8 years of daunting work and outsize idealism as they attempt to create the utopia they seek, planting 10,000 orchard trees and over 200 different crops, and bringing in animals of every kind. When the farms ecosystem finally begins to reawaken, so does the Chesters’ hope. They realize that in order to survive, they will have to reach a far greater understanding of the intricacies of nature and life itself.

Opening April 5.
