Rachel's Farm is a documentary experiential film showing Rachel's journey from barren to pasture.  Rachel and her husband Bryan Brown go through severe bush fires  and floods.  
The documentary goes through the steps.  Having heard Rachel speak about her journey, no matter the size of the property, it is doable.  It is a matter of scale.  Big properties can tolerate cattle where the back yard may have chickens, guinea fowl and a milking sheep or two.  The rotation, many grass and plant species remains the same.

You Tube has a great trailer.


Rachel is super keen to get the re-gen story out to help our ravaged lands recover.

I give Rachel's Farm 10 acorns out of 10.  Rachel Ward is an Australian actress, director and producer who has a very large portfolio and credits as an actor as well as a writer, director and producer.  She and her husband, actor Bryan Brown bought a property in northern NSW Australia as a lifestyle block and very much hands off farming.  Her realisation and through discussions with her next door neighbour, the light dawns and she becomes hands on.  The realities of life on a farm are not glossed over.  The film shows the good times, the hard times and the bad times and how she, Bryan and her family, as well as the neighbours grow through trial and error and adversity.  It is my hope that we will be able to access Rachel's Farm here on Permies.
