   Inspirational documentary about traditional farming and the lessons learned
   This was an excellent documentary. I watched it twice and bought it. A couple buy a farm and begin the 5-7 (?) years long process of creating a bio-diverse traditional farm.
   Each pest and predator taught them lessons about how nature has its own solutions if you look closely. The snail problem that was ravaging the fruit trees was managed by getting ducks. The coyotes that could eat the ducks were managed by fencing and by getting new Great Pyrenees dogs to protect the birds. And so on and so on…
   The traditional little farm proved to fare better during inclement weather conditions in California because the soil was healthier. The farms with monocultures did not do very well during poor weather conditions.
   I recommend the film to anyone interested in learning more abut traditional farming or just interested in a good story. The couple went through some challenging times, lost loved ones, but created a successful little farm using common sense farming methods that are healthier for the soil and the humans eating the food.

   The Biggest Little Farm isn’t just a movie—it’s an emotional, inspiring, and visually stunning experience that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
   Why I love it:
   Breathtaking Cinematography: Every shot is like a painting, capturing the beauty of nature, animals, and the ever-changing seasons on the farm.
   A Heartfelt Story: It’s a real-life journey of a couple chasing their dream to build a sustainable farm from scratch. The challenges they face, the lessons they learn, and their unwavering hope make it feel deeply personal and relatable.
   Nature in Harmony: Watching the ecosystem come to life—where every creature, from snails to coyotes, plays a role—is mesmerizing and educational.
   Emotional Rollercoaster: It’s a perfect mix of joy, heartbreak, and triumph. I laughed, I cried, and I walked away feeling inspired to be more connected with the earth.
   If you love animals, nature, or stories about resilience and sustainability, The Biggest Little Farm is a must-watch. It’s a reminder that with patience and dedication, we can create something truly beautiful.

   A Heartwarming Journey of Hope and Harmony
   “The Biggest Little Farm” is an enchanting documentary that beautifully captures the remarkable journey of two dreamers, John and Molly Chester, as they transform a barren piece of land into a thriving, biodiverse farm. The film’s narrative is not just about farming; it’s a poignant exploration of perseverance, harmony with nature, and the cycles of life. What sets this documentary apart is its ability to seamlessly weave in core concepts of regenerative farming, offering valuable lessons on sustainability and ecological balance.
   As a viewer, I was captivated by the challenges and triumphs the Chesters faced, from battling pests and droughts to nurturing a diverse ecosystem. The stunning cinematography and authentic storytelling make it easy to cheer for their success. It’s inspiring to witness how every setback becomes an opportunity for growth and learning.
   For my spouse and me, this film was more than just a viewing experience—it sparked our passion for gardening. We felt a deep connection to the Chesters’ mission to create a healthier and more sustainable world, motivating us to start our own garden.
   “The Biggest Little Farm” is not only a feast for the eyes but also a nourishing experience for the soul. It’s a must-watch for anyone looking for inspiration and a reminder of the beauty of working in harmony with nature. Five stars, without a doubt!

   This is such a wonderful DVD. I have watched it several times, and believe this should be shown in all schools, starting at least grade 10. It proves the importance of farming the land, as well as the symbiotic relationships between different living beings. No matter how big or small.

    映画館が休館になって、見れなかったので、早くに注文したら直輸入でコロナ騒動で一か月もかかった。待ったかいがありましたよ。やってみたかったなあ。映画はテンポも良いし、なにより画像が奇麗だ、音楽も良い。たくましい人たちだ。日本の人たちにも、こんな人たちがたくさんいる。目立たないけど居る。
    国を作る人たちだ。
