About this event

  • 2 hours 10 minutes

Its Organics Week! To celebrate, The HEI Organic Education Centre is excited to present the eagerly anticipated documentary, Six Inches of Soil. The film starts at 7pm so arrive early to find a seat. The film will be followed by a 30 minute panel discussion with local food producers and retailers (GoodFor, Veda Organics, BearLion, Ferretti Growers).


The film follows three new farmers on the first year of 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

cattle in Cornwall. As the trio strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable

businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They’re 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.
