Rachels Farm
Produced by WildBear Entertainment
& New Town Films

One woman’s journey from ecological despair to finding hope in the soil beneath her feet.

A message from Rachel...

Welcome to the Rachel’s Farm film website. Maybe you are here as a consumer looking to find retailers that prioritise best-practice farming, perhaps you are custodian of some land and want to do best by it, or maybe you are simply curious to learn about what regenerative and holistic farming is all about. Whatever the reason, I’m grateful that you are interested enough to be checking in on us and learning about a way of farming that prioritises regenerating our landscapes.

Inspired by the film?

If you've seen the film and are inspired to learn more and take action, there are many ways you can get involved and learn more.

Consumers can make a difference by using their purchasing power to support local growers by choosing organic, regenerative, sustainable and ‘climate-positive’ produce, and by donating to organisations who are helping farmers transition their farms.

Farmers and land stewards can learn more about adopting regenerative practices and connect with local groups and organisations that can support them.
