The Biggest Little Farm Curriculum
A NEW curriculum based on the critically-acclaimed Oscar-shorlisted documentary The Biggest Little Farm is COMING!
We are proud to announce that we have joined forces with American Farmland Trust and Apricot Lane Farms to create a one-of-a-kind STEM-based, NGSS-aligned educational curriculum inspired by the epic journey of creating the biodiverse world of The Biggest Little Farm.
Through rich and experiential lessons, students will come to embrace the profound concept of living in symbiosis with the Earth, fueling them with hope and awe for the power of positive change, and leading them to the realization that they have a role to play as a steward of our planet’s future.
This transformative curriculum will:
- Immerse students in the vibrant world of biodiversity, ecosystem and soil health, and farming and agriculture
- Ignite a profound emotional connection that fosters genuine exploration and understanding of the interconnectedness of all life
- Provide Grade 3 – 12 educators with a companion curriculum to use to educate their classes alongside the film
About The Biggest Little Farm
The Biggest Little Farm is the critically-acclaimed, award-winning feature documentary, directed by 5-time Emmy-winner John Chester about the epic journey of creating the biodiverse world of Apricot Lane Farms. It was released theatrically nationwide in May 2019, and was followed by a worldwide release in over 30 countries. It won more than 15 festival & critics’ awards, and had the top honor of being shortlisted for an Oscar in 2020.
Even more important than its commercial success, the film has gone on to transform the way the world views a farm’s role to positively impact biodiversity and rebuild soil and ecosystem health. Since its initial release, the film continues to be used in schools all over the world—from secondary through the university level.
In today’s K-12 system, many students lack relatable ways of connecting with science education, and particularly through a lens that connects biodiversity, ecosystem health, farming, food, climate, biology, chemistry and more. With the release of this curriculum, Apricot Lane Farms, American Farmland Trust and Rodale Institute are partnering to change this paradigm.
