on Wednesday 30th April. The event starts at 19:30.
A film screening of the eagerly anticipated documentary film, Six Inches of Soil.
Six Inches of Soil follows the inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, benefit our health and provide for local communities.
The film follows the highs and lows of three new farmers on their regenerative journey: Anna Jackson, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture fed beef livestock in Cornwall. As the trio of young farmers strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They are joined by other experts providing wisdom and solutions from a growing movement of people who are dedicated to changing the trajectory for food, farming and the planet.
Following the screening will be a panel discussion with Alex Goodman of the Purple Patch market garden/Garden Folk CIC in St Werburghs, Noah Cooper, director of Edible Bristol CIC and Soil Association Ambassador, and a representative from Avon Wildlife Trusts Grow Wilder Urban Nature Hub. Charlotte Jackson of Bristol Good Food will be hosting the panel.
Tickets include entry for the film and panel, and a complimentary drink - a choice of one of our lovely ales or beers brewed in-house with sustainably sourced hops and grains, or a soft drink.
