Rebeacca Hosking and her father
This documentary is the personal story of wildlife film maker, Rebecca Hosking and her investigation into how to transform her family’s farm in Devon, England into a low energy farm for the future. The film ends with her decision to use permaculture as an approach to changing the farm from a traditional high-labor, high-energy requiring operation, to a highly diversified, low-labor, solar-powered operation that is more productive, environmentally sustainable and more profitable. All this is done through design, and requires extensive knowledge of plants and their properties. Hopefully we’ll see Part II in five years showing the results of her efforts.

I’m so proud of you! I remember the day you told me you were going back to school and signed up for some classes at ICC. “What do you want to do?” I asked. You replied, “I’d like to do something with farming, get into the Ag Field.” Well, honey, here you were, a young blond curly haired wild drummer from California and I couldn’t dream of you being happy in the Ag field! But here you are and I’m so proud that you accomplished your dreams. It will take me some time to get through all of your blog, but I’ll read some each night. Great job Dan!!
