The Biggest Little Farm
A great film showing at the Plaza Theater in Maplewood. The plot summary: “A
testament to the immense complexity of nature, this documentary follows
two dreamers who bring harmony to both their lives and the land as they
work to develop a sustainable 200 acre farm.”
Synopsis from Fandango: “Two dreamers and a dog embark on an odyssey to bring harmony to their lives and to the land. As their plan to create perfect harmony takes a series of wild turns, they will have to reach a greater understanding of the intricacies and wisdom of nature.”
The film has wonderful cinematography, is uplifting and inspiring. I have much more respect for traditional farmers after watching this movie. And hope that we can heal the Earth.

As far as I can tell it is only playing at the Plaza Theater in Maplewood. Cost is $3 ($2 on Tuesdays). Check the Plaza’s website for times. I don’t know how long it will be playing, so see it soon. Anyone who grows food will want to see this!
