Summary

Molly and John Chester set up Apricot Lane Farms (known as the Biggest Little Farm) with the intention of working in harmony with nature, while maximizing nutrients and flavor. Have they been successful? What has changed since the documentary came out five years ago featuring their farm? How has the farm grown and is it living up to its original goals?

Molly Chester answers all of the questions above today, sharing insights on the biodynamic and harmonious philosophy behind their farm (that now has over 250 varieties of fruits and vegetables growing on the property)! She talks about how it has shaped her son...and her own life. She also answers the question about whether the biggest little farm is possibly too big now! Plus, Molly shares what's next for their biggest little farm.
