At one time, there were thousands of people working on the farms. Now that number has dwindled to a few dozen. What did it all mean to these workers? I came away from this documentary wondering why so many people had lost their jobs. What did it all mean to the farmers? It was certainly not the end of the world, but a drastic change in the way they thought about their lives. What's more, the farmers were nothing but decent folks who were willing to pay for their own food. Why were they getting ripped off by the big agribusiness people? Where were they going to get their food? I wanted to know more about this interesting group of farmers, so I watched a few of their documentaries. I think it was the documentary I saw first. The Biggest Little Farm has a beautiful narration and a good story to tell. It focuses on the farm of Mike and Kelly, two former single mothers who make their living selling eggs. The film does a good job of showing us what it's like to live in a small town with people like them, and it also helps us understand how food can be such a big part of a person's life. The farm is definitely worth watching.

The Biggest Little Farm is a fascinating documentary, about a small farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains, located in the state of North Carolina. The farm has a little over 250 acres, and it is an amazing place to live and to be a part of. The farm is owned by Jim and Sherri Van Houten, who have a great relationship with their neighbors and also with the locals. There is a great story behind the farm, and I believe that anyone with an interest in farming should see this film. I also think that anyone who loves nature, should definitely see this film.

I know that most of the people who have commented on this film feel the same way. Maybe they really do, but this is what I thought. This documentary is a re-telling of the Battle of Stalingrad from the Russian point of view. It is amazing how a lot of people are talking about the "savagery" of the Germans, but they have no idea what that is about. It's like they just need a historical context that will make them understand. The battle was pretty brutal, and no matter what you think of the Germans, there was a lot of "savagery" in that battle. The Russians had the advantage, but that wasn't the only advantage. This was a battle in which the Germans had almost no support from their allies. And as a matter of fact, the German allies (and the Allies themselves) had to do a lot of fighting to get any help from the Germans, including the Soviet Union. What this documentary does is provide a historical context for people who do not know about Stalingrad. This is the type of documentary that I really enjoyed watching. It was interesting to see how a battle like Stalingrad came about. I know that the story is not a popular one, but the documentary was interesting in that it was not overly political. It was as if the filmmakers had an open mind and a real love for the subject. One of the things I liked about this documentary was the fact that it was made by people who were not that familiar with the history of the battle. I found the documentary quite enjoyable. The battle scenes were very well done. I found myself not paying much attention to the documentary and just trying to enjoy the film.

Although I didn't know what to expect, I was surprised by this documentary. For the most part, it was a thoughtful look at farming, and the effects it has on the environment. I was a little disappointed that it didn't touch on more on the animal rights issue, but it was still interesting to hear the thoughts of others about the way they farm. The fact that we could see someone who has been on the farm for so many years talk about what he does for a living was quite interesting. The last 5 minutes of the documentary did feel a bit rushed, but overall, it was still an interesting look at the farming industry.

The documentary-style documentary on the Northfield Cheese Factory that, according to the poster, is still going strong in the town of just under 100 people in Minnesota. The film is well shot, though it looks like the footage was collected at some point in the past and, perhaps, didn't have much of a budget. The documentary seems to be very focused on the cheese making process. It covers all the steps from inception to the actual cheese press, from the inception of the farm to the final product. This is of course, part of the reason for its longevity. This film is not an absolute must see, but it is an interesting take on the subject matter and, at least, the effort and care the producer's took in getting it on film.

This is a pretty good documentary about a small farming community in Oregon. It tells the story of the growing of barley and wheat and how the community has managed to thrive despite the economic downturn. There is also a very interesting history of the local people that was a surprising addition to the film. Some of the scenes were dark, but that was a very good thing. I would not have watched the film if I was not expecting to see the farm. I would have watched it if it had been a documentary about Oregon farms and the people that live and work there.

Doreen is a dairy farm in Western Wisconsin. Doreen is owned and operated by family. Doreen has worked for the family since 1959. We meet a lot of people on the farm who say that Doreen is like a family. The dairy farm is owned by the family and they just want to make money. And Doreen is a really happy farm owner. The people who know Doreen, say that she is such a positive person and that she's always happy. I would love to hear from any of the Doreens on this film. I'm sure there are lots of other people out there who feel the same way about Doreen.

I enjoyed the documentary so much I thought it would be a great watch. Unfortunately it was very poorly written and produced and I can't believe the time and money went into this.

The Biggest Little Farm (2016) * (out of 4) Here is a documentary that is going to make you think and hopefully make you reconsider the value of nature. I have to admit that I had a lot of fun watching this documentary and I think the film makers did a good job of creating a documentary that is interesting and sometimes funny. This is one of those documentaries that is going to be different than most but the producers know that and this allows the film to be unique. It is also interesting to see that the film makers got a lot of the information from a number of people who are involved with the farming of the animals. I thought the filmmakers did a very good job in adding a lot of facts and talking about some of the common myths about animal farming and how they are a big part of the food chain. It is interesting to see the relationship between humans and animals. The filmmakers also talked about the "super-foods" that are being used to make the food industry run and they also talked about the animals and how they have been treated as commodities and the animals need to be treated like commodities. This documentary is good but I think it is a little too long for what it is trying to achieve.

I really enjoyed this documentary because it did not try to put a spin on the farming situation in the US. It didn't portray all farmers as bad or evil. It just showed what life was like in a farm. The overall message of the movie was that we shouldn't compare America's farming system to those of other countries. It just shows how people are trapped by the system. The farmers of the US are treated very differently than the farmers of other countries. So when you see a documentary that portrays farming as bad or even evil, you should just ignore that as it doesn't help the viewer see the reality. I also liked the way it showed farmers moving from small scale farms into big scale farms. They always have a reason to move. The farming system in America is no different than the farming systems of any other country. All you need to do is look around you.

I was really impressed with this documentary. It's a lot of fun to watch. It's certainly worth seeing! A lot of people will be frustrated by the length. They may be angry that they have to wait to see everything that's happening, and there's not much else that is going on. But you can't fault the film for that. It's also a little long and perhaps a bit too jumbled, but the long shots, wide shots, and slow motion shots really helped you see all of the scenes that you didn't see before. You will get a sense of just how much is happening right now in this country and the world. You will be drawn into the conversations and the relationships. You will get a sense of the problems that many people are going through, but also the solutions. I really enjoyed this film. It's definitely a movie you will want to see several times. It's definitely a film worth seeing.

This documentary follows the American cattlemen as they journey across America from point A to point B, looking for the next piece of land to build their new homestead on. The U.S. has a great history of cattlemen who go west to find the land that will serve as their homestead. Here we see them in detail. They are full of energy, passionate, and full of spirit. The documentary shows their adventure, their struggle, and their ideas about the future of the West. But there is something missing, something that many of them do not realize. I think it's a real shame, because they are out there doing something important and valuable to the world. But instead of showing that, the documentary doesn't show them at all. If you haven't seen it, please do.

I find it interesting that after two years in the US, this film hasn't been released on DVD, but it could have been due to the fact that the reviewers were more familiar with some other related films. The DVD contains interviews with many of the actors and several of the crew. I didn't get a chance to see any of these other films. The film is about the creation of this farm, which was almost completely self-funded. They rented out a couple of large properties to run the farm. The film covers the planning, construction, planning, operation, and revenue of the farm, as well as the profits. It also covers the difficulties that came with not having a contract with a large company or other businesses for the farm. The film ends with the comment "And we learned that it's hard to succeed without an accountant." The film was nice to see because the audience could see the effort that went into this film. Also the actors seemed to be in their element. This film is a little hard to find, but it's a great documentary. It's a nice film that's worth seeing. It's definitely worth seeing.

This documentary is quite interesting to watch, and certainly not too depressing, so it's probably a good choice to rent out a DVD of it. It's mostly just about how the DOL has treated the farmers in the past, and how the farmer is trying to change the rules of the game for the better. At times, the farmers have their own problem with the government, and it's not a pretty sight. Most of the farmers are really the kind you'd expect to find in your average small town. It's a bit like a documentary about how a group of people would act in a similar situation. Although, they're not people you'd want to trust. The documentary starts off talking about how the DOL has given special permission to use certain pesticides, and how farmers can see the difference. The farmers are making the switch to "organic", but it's not easy. They find that they're having to buy more and more expensive chemicals, which they just can't afford anymore. The DOL is forcing them to buy more and more, and it's really becoming a big problem. It's not as if there's no alternative. But the farmers have to do it, and they're getting really frustrated. The DOL has told them to not be overly optimistic about the organic farming, and not to have any hopes that their methods will really work, and they will be able to sustain themselves and their families. As a result, they're having to start buying up the largest and most expensive chemical companies. Eventually, the farmers realize that they're going to have to start changing their ways. The documentary also talks about the problem with the cows. They are also really struggling, and they're really fed up with their way of living. The DOL is really pushing them to the breaking point. The farmers realize that there's nothing they can do, and there's no way they can change the rules. It's obvious that they are losing control of their farming, and they're getting close to the point where they will simply be forced to give up and move on. That's when they finally decide to go back to the old ways. In conclusion, this documentary is a bit depressing and very depressing. You'll either love it, or you'll hate it. There is one very sad scene in the documentary, but it doesn't really affect the whole movie. It's just something that they had to get through. You will get the feeling that you're watching a documentary about some farm, and they're actually farming with the government, but you won't see that it's the DOL. Overall, it's a really good documentary about how the farmers have to live their lives, and the DOL. The DOL is actually the ones that want to change things, not the farmers. I give it a 7 out of 10.

Last year we were fortunate enough to visit a farm in the Midwest and see the animals for ourselves. The owners of the farm were open and accommodating and we learned more about their philosophy on animals than we have learned about anywhere else. For the most part, the animals were very well cared for and loved. A few were a little sick but the dogs and the chickens were happy. For the most part the animals seemed to be content with their lives and seemed to be enjoying themselves. It is good to see that people care about animals and that they care about people. I have always felt that most people don't care about animals at all but see them as being just a food source. That may be true in some cases but it is not true in most. People see the animals as having the best life and that is not the case. We learn more about the farm and about the people who have a great sense of history and the philosophy of the farm. The film is informative and the photography is beautiful. The film does a great job of showing us the amazing farm and the people who live and work there. There are some very interesting interviews with the owners and they are just as interesting as the animals themselves. This is not a movie that will necessarily change anyone's views about the use of animals. It is a documentary and an amazing documentary and I think it is important to see the farm. It may be a little over the top but the farm does make a great film about an amazing farm.

A documentary about a typical family farm in the Czech Republic, which we have all visited and even lived in. It is one of the most perfect farms I have ever seen. Not only the farm itself but also the entire community is totally based on sound economics and the community even values and cares about its own welfare. The story is about a small farm in rural Karelia and also about the many Czech and Slovak immigrants living in the same town. As I said in the beginning, it is a small film. You do not see much of the farm or the community. You just see the road and the farm itself. The farm looks like any other farm and it looks great. The farmer is an old man, very nice, and I really hope this film will inspire some young farmers to not take the opportunity for large investments. A big farm could mean that it is the best farm, but sometimes that is not the case. I really hope this film will be shown to people. The documentary is not very funny, but it does have a lot of heart and is a lot of fun to watch. It is not a documentary, but a journey into a small village.

This is a great documentary on the making of a film called "The Biggest Little Farm". This film is about the filmmaking process for this film, and the process itself. The filmmakers and actors are the star of this documentary. It is fascinating to see the process of a film going through production, shooting, and editing. I believe that it is a must see for anyone who is a fan of the film industry.

Well, this documentary is one of the best I have seen in a long time. I am not a farmer myself, but I can tell you that it is very hard to make it as a farmer, especially in the US, and to be honest, it is so hard to make it, that it is not even worth the time of the farmer to do so. I guess what makes this documentary so great is that it is based on actual facts, and is quite accurate and real. It also gives you an idea of the troubles that farmers face, and shows how much they contribute to the society. It also shows the fact that people in general have a hard time with working in a farm, and it is hard for those who are not farmers to get a job. So, to sum up, it is not just a documentary about how hard it is to make it as a farmer, but about the hard life that farmers face, and the people who work in farms. It also shows how much money the farmers make. I recommend this documentary to anyone who likes to see a documentary, or to anyone who wants to learn more about farming, or to anyone who wants to know what is the hardest job in the world to do. I hope that this documentary will be a success, because I believe that it is one of the best documentaries ever made.

I don't normally get involved in documentary films, but I was excited about this one because of its focus on food production and the impact of pesticides on plants and animals. However, the film is a bit overlong and feels more like a travelogue than a documentary. Most of the footage is taken by one camera operator with another camera operator taking video from a second location. There is a lot of overlapping, especially when it comes to production and editing, but the editing is okay for the most part. The film does not always tell the story it needs to, but it is good overall.

This is a real eye-opener, that a farm in Western Australia is the largest organic farm in the world. The greenhouse is designed for growing all kinds of vegetables and herbs, as well as growing grain, honey, and even insects. It is run by five people who have an agreement to follow a strict food safety protocol, and do not sell anything from their farm to outside restaurants or consumers. It is called the 'grass fed' organic farm because there is no grain fed from the land. Everything is organic, including the milk, the butter, and the eggs. The biggest part of the documentary is the interviews with the farmer, his wife, and their son and daughter. The son and daughter have decided that if there is a problem they will be open about it with the farm. The parents are very proud of their farm, and not one of them has ever said they don't like it. So it is clear that everyone is very supportive of the farm. The documentary is really about farming, and it shows that if you are passionate about it, there are a lot of people in the world that are passionate about it. One of the things that stood out for me was the passion that the people had for their farm. It is a true testament to the power of faith. People really believe in God and that they will get everything they need, no matter what. People believe in the power of prayer, and that people will be granted what they need to live a good life. Many people live in the dark because they have no faith, but people with faith can see that it is possible to see the light. There is a power of faith that is very rare in the world. It is the power of believing that everything will work out in the end. One of the things I learned from this documentary is that faith is very powerful. This is something that I think we need to be reminded of. We all need to believe in the power of God to make a difference in our lives. If we don't believe in it, then we are missing out on the power of God in our lives. This is something that is not taught in schools, and it is something that I think is very important. I hope people see this documentary, and that we get to see more documentaries like this one.

The film is based on a true story of a family who went from one small farm in rural New Zealand to the biggest farm in the world. It is a huge operation, with just four main buildings. They are all old, derelict, and rundown. The youngest son is an almost silent animal and the youngest daughter is a little girl who will soon be too old to play with them. One of the most famous films about the farm is the 2008 documentary, "The Biggest Little Farm". This is a great film that does a great job at showing how big these farms are. It has a really great cast and a great director. It is about the story of a family in New Zealand who have become so big that they don't have time to take care of the animals. This is a great story that should be shared.

I really liked the movie, it was very moving and very educational. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a documentary about a farm, or someone who is interested in something like this. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who is a person who would like to learn more about what the farmers go through to raise their animals and then sell them. All of the images were excellent and very well done. I think that the movie was very educational for all viewers.

I really enjoyed this documentary. I've been doing some work in and around Willamette Valley in Oregon and I think it's great how a lot of the issues raised were dealt with here. I didn't feel like I was sold on the point of view of the company, but I was in the business myself. This was something that really got me thinking about the situation and it made me feel like I needed to take a second look at what I do. I think the only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because it was kinda out of the blue and the little bit of exposition was almost too much. Overall though, I really enjoyed it and I hope more people are inspired by it.

A very entertaining documentary about a farm in the small town of Red Lake. The farm has a lot of history and is still in use today. It has been in operation for over a century, and is the oldest continuously operated farm in the state of Minnesota. The film covers the history of the farm, the current problems with the neighbors, and the history of the farm itself. The farmers in the area were very nice and helpful, and the cameraman's camera work is very well done. It is a really fun documentary that will leave you with a good feeling. I really enjoyed it.

This is an excellent documentary on a very important subject. I found it very interesting. The amount of information given is very impressive, from the 'big picture' of the farm to the individual stories that people had to share with the documentary crew. They seemed to be on the same page. I was also impressed by the overall tone of the documentary. It is very upbeat, with no fear or negativity. It was interesting to see how people who are currently involved with the farm are dealing with the changing times. It seems that many of the people in the current group were very active in the 1970's and 1980's. I think it is very appropriate that the documentary would be so positive and upbeat, since it is a very positive place. I think that the documentary would be more helpful to someone who is a part of the farm and who is looking for information on what it was like growing up there. I think that people who are new to the area may have a hard time understanding the time period. I would recommend this documentary to anyone who is interested in learning more about the history of the farm.

I loved this movie. I've been out in the country, and I've seen this film many times. I do believe that you can make a documentary about any aspect of farming, and it's all good. I have visited some of the farm's, and they are beautiful. The camera was great, the acting was great, and it was an overall great movie.

This documentary is about what happens when a family of seven moves to a new house in an English county. The two siblings are a one-child family and the father is in jail. It is clear from the start that the family will have difficulties in adjusting to the new house. The family doesn't understand what to do, and they are doing everything to accommodate the family. One of the siblings, Sarah, doesn't understand why the family needs to move to a new house. I think the documentary shows that a family needs to understand the new house in order to live with it and to understand how much they need to work with the new house. The family doesn't understand the reason why they need to move. What is the reason for moving? I think it is a good documentary. I like the documentary because I think it is realistic. I think it shows the difficulties of a family, and I like the documentary because it shows the problems that the family is having. The documentary is very important, because it shows that a family needs to understand the new house.

I first saw this film a few years back when it was first released. I had no idea what it was about or what it was about and was watching it for the first time. I thought it was a documentary, but I was wrong. It was the first movie I ever saw that I could relate to. It was from the standpoint of a small farm. In the 1950s, the farm in this movie was about a 2 acre plot of land that grew wheat, corn, and other crops. The farmer was a young man with a good heart and a wonderful sense of humor. In the film, the farmer's wife and son played by Josh Lucas and Jason Sudeikis, are in their mid 20's. They are involved in a lawsuit against the farmer and the town of the town in which they live, for violating their rights. The lawsuit goes to trial and the farm owner and his family (and the town's citizens) come out on top. The farmer's wife is very supportive of the farm and is not afraid to speak her mind. The town is very supportive of the farmer and the townspeople. This movie does not tell the whole story of the farmer's life, but it does give an insight into what he went through. I recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in the early life of small farm. It is a very uplifting movie, so if you're looking for a happy ending, this film is not for you.
