Regenerative agriculture is often talked about in theory. This film shows what it looks like in practice.

In this documentary, biodynamic farmer Brigid LeFevre runs a community supported agriculture (CSA) project in Järna, Sweden. Her farm focuses on soil regeneration, fermentation, and local food systems that prioritize ecological health over profit. Members support the farm through subscriptions and shared labor, creating a circular economy rooted in living soil.

Raised in a moneyless, self-sufficient Camphill community in Northern Ireland, Brigid grew up with a radically different relationship to food and economy. Today, she grows and ferments vegetables – sauerkraut, kimchi and other lacto-fermented foods – for her CSA members, demonstrating how regenerative farming, biodiversity and community resilience can work together.

This film explores biodynamic farming, fermentation, circular economy, and what real wealth might mean in a time of ecological crisis.
