🌱🌾Cultivating Community, One Film at a Time 🐝 🥕

What a night! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on Sunday at EcoTitchfield’s Eco Movie Night. It was an evening packed with insight, inspiration, and real local impact. We were thrilled to host a screening of Six Inches of Soil—a moving and powerful film about the regenerative farming movement—and even more honoured to be joined by our own local regenerative hero, George Crossley 🧑‍🌾 of Rushmere Farm, Hambledon.

For those of you who were there, you’ll know just how inspiring George’s story is. Having taken over the 300-acre family farm, he’s chosen to walk a new path—one rooted in organic, regenerative principles that prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability. He may not have featured in the film itself, but he very well could have. George’s journey echoes every theme from Six Inches of Soil, bringing them to life not far from us in Hambledon.

Thank you also to everyone who donated, stayed for the Q&A and asked thoughtful questions. We hope the evening left you with greater awareness, fresh perspectives, and perhaps even a renewed sense of agency as a conscious consumer. Events like this aren’t just about watching a film—they’re about building the knowledge and connections that help us all move toward more sustainable lives.

So, what next for EcoTitchfield?

This event reminded us of the power of local. George’s farm is not just a success story in the making—it’s a living example of the change we want to see in the world. That’s why we’re not stopping at one movie night. We’re asking: how can we go further?

• How can EcoTitchfield actively support George and his farm in the months and years ahead?

• How can we open up more opportunities for others in our community to learn from, contribute to, and benefit from this kind of regenerative work?

• How do we build a shared story—an alliance—between local growers, consumers, small businesses, and community groups like ours?

We believe the answers lie in collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to doing things differently. Securing our food future doesn’t have to mean looking far afield. In fact, it starts right here—with relationships like the ones we’re forming with George and Helen.

By supporting local, sustainable, and regenerative food and businesses, we reduce the intensity of our environmental impact, increase the resilience of our food supply, and gift ourselves the bonus of better nutrition and well-being. Fresh, local food and eco-conscious products nourish more than our bodies—they nourish our spirit, and bring us together in shared purpose.

If you’d like to support George directly and enjoy some of the freshest, locally grown produce around, you can now order his seasonal veg boxes online. Visit 👉 hampshiremarketgarden.co.uk to see what’s growing and sign up for weekly deliveries. Eating well and supporting regenerative farming—what could be better?

And finally, if you missed the film on the night, you’re in luck!

Thank you again for being part of this journey with us. If you were inspired by the event, or have ideas for how we can build on it, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s keep this conversation—and this community—growing.

With gratitude,
Chris & The EcoTitchfield Team
