About

This delightful and stunningly shot documentary follows John and Molly Chester on their eight-year journey to turn 200 acres of dry, over farmed land into a thriving eco-farm.

Aspiring farmers, the Chesters abandon their unsatisfying urban existence to risk it all on what was considered an unorthodox and risky approach to agriculture in rural California. Their embryonic Apricot Lane Farm is immediately beset by challenges — from pests and wildfires to California’s longest drought in a millennium. All these roadblocks require a deep well of resilience and quick-thinking innovation to overcome. Endearing and thought-provoking in equal measure, The Biggest Little Farm raises pertinent questions about ecosystems and what it means to live in harmony with nature.
