Happen Films: Food Foresting Film Screening at the Mangaroa Farms yurt.
About The Short Films
This month we’re diving into the world of food forests with two short documentaries from Happen Films:
The Food Forest Farmers (Permadynamics) – an inspiring look at syntropic farming in Aotearoa and how it transforms land, food, and community.
The Guytons’ Food Forest – an intimate exploration of a long-established family food forest and the lessons it offers in biodiversity, resilience, and long-term ecological care.
Following the films, we’ll have a facilitated discussion with Zeb, who has recently established a permaculture orchard at Mangaroa Farm. He’ll share insights about how many of the principles featured in these films are already being put into practice here on the whenua.
What to bring
The yurt is a cosy space but we definitely recommend a beanbag, blankets and cushions. Chairs will be available, but you might like to be a little more comfortable.
