”The Biggest Little Farm” film, Molly Chester, Apricot Lane Farms, Moorpark, CA
The 2019 documentary “The Biggest Little Farm" followed John and Molly Chester as they left their busy lives in Los Angeles to build a farm on dead land in Moorpark, California. John and Molly regenerated and reclaimed what was barren into a very alive, healthy, and abundant place. The story of Apricot Lane Farm, aka the Biggest Little Farm, won lots of awards and lots of hearts, including mine. John and Molly also have a follow-up film on Disney Plus called The Biggest Little Farm: The Return, and they’re currently filming a 12-part series, also for Disney Plus. My kids and I traveled down to Moorpark to meet Molly Chester and talk about how she and John arrived at Apricot Lane Farm, and about the deep truths that emerge in regenerative agriculture, if we’re willing to see them.
