The gentle rhythm of this timely, environmentally conscious documentary will temporarily draw you away from the world of tiny screens into a partially ambiguous yet fulfilling tale of endurance.

Deep pockets and big dreams aside, this is an aspirational film fuelled with a positive energy that is infectious.

By the end of the film, the story of the Chesters and their farm has brought forth a bevy of smiles and tears, and a strong desire to book a trip to visit their small slice of heaven.

A great documentary about how farming should be part of the entire ecosystem. Watching this happen over many years it is heart warming.

Very good, but it's a tear jerker. You'll root for them and cry with them, but you'll understand that it takes time to develop a self-sustaining as well as profitable farm. As they learn on their journey, so will you. Great documentary.
