Friday, August 19th at 4:00pm join us at our Film Festival to watch:
Polyfaces (2015) Directed and produced by Lisa Heenan and Darren Doherty of Australia.
This award-winning documentary, Polyfaces, was made by one Australian family who spent their life savings and traveled to the USA, spending 4 years documenting a style of farming that will help change the fate of humanity!
Set amidst the stunning Shenandoah Valley in northern Virginia, 'Polyface Farm' is led by the "the world's most innovative farmer" (TIME) who uses no chemicals. He feeds over 6,000 families, many restaurants and food outlets within a 3 hour 'foodshed' at their farm.
Polyfaces is a joyful film about connecting to the land and the community. Following the Salatins, a 4th generation farming family who do "everything different from everyone else," the film shows how they produce food in a way that works with nature, not against it. It also shows us that we can regenerate our landscapes, communities, local economies, our health and most importantly, our SOILS. We can do this at the same time as producing quality, nutrient dense food, and keeping families on farms. This film hopes to inspire and support a whole new generation of farmers.
