An inspiring, positive, data-driven, human, and good humoured film about Adaptive Multi Paddock grazing (regenerative agriculture), and its beneficial impacts. I’ve watched many films on this topic over the years, and this one beats them all! I was moved to tears seeing what is and what can be, so I got in touch with the filmmakers in the US and secured permission to screen it all around New Zealand.
A regenerative agriculture resource
This regenerative agriculture resource is continually evolving resource.
It is for farmers and growers dipping their toe in the water of regenerative agriculture and all it has to offer, and for those who are curious or maybe even doubt it can work in their context. This resource is not intended to answer all your questions, but it will certainly give you plenty to explore, put some wind in your sails, and offer jumping off places for your next step.

The life is coming back into this land that was just a field of kikuyu last year.
40 people have registered for tonight’s Food Forest Film tonight. Looking forward to some juicy conversation about what’s possible when we play our part and work with nature, to support her abundance.
Tonight in Whangarei, 19 people came out for an evening of food forest inspiration, and went home having witnessed the miracles that are possible when we work with nature and let her show us what she’s capable of!
The next Film Night will be held on Friday, May 8th in Helensville.

See you there!
There was a surprise in store this afternoon as I went through the Food Forest seeing how it had been impacted by the high winds in that storm last week. Look what I found…
Arthur corrected me: That looks like the butterfly ginger James, not Myoga.
Hedychium coronarium, often sold in NZ as Galangal as it looks similar.
It is far more vigerous than galangal but the roots are mildly toxic. The flower buds and flowers are supposed to be edible but I've not tried them.
