My guest today, John Chester, has been a filmmaker and television director for the last 25 years.

Telling stories that reconnect us with our humanity and help us see the same and others.

And during that same time, his wife Molly was busy changing lives as a private chef and

a teacher in LA with a really deep committed focus on natural foods, biodiversity and sustainability.

But here's an interesting thing, years into their careers.

They decided to do something pretty radical.

They came together and moved out of the city, bought a piece of land that had been deemed

largely unformable.

Like it just couldn't sustain life and transformed it over a period of years into something really

profound.

This became a Picot Lane Farms, which is not just a biodynamic regenerative organic farm.

It is also a stunning example of what is possible when you hold onto a vision to rehabilitate

a small slice of nature while also surrendering to how that adventure tells you it needs to unfold.

The way that affected everyone involved has been profound.

The story of Molly and John's journey actually and the transformation in nature, the animals,

the humans, the plants, the land, everything that's unfolded over this time is also now

captured in a really moving, stunningly filmed new documentary called The Biggest Little

Farm, which we'll link to in the show notes, of course.

Picnode also, we'd love to actually have been able to share a conversation with both Molly

and John in today's episode.

In fact, they were both here, but unfortunately, literally hours before Molly lost her voice.

Zero voice, nothing.
