In the Magic of the Green Mountains (2013)

Vermont herbalists Jeff and Melanie Carpenter sold their natural products business to buy raw land and start an organic farm to grow medicinal herbs, rather than source them from half-way around the world. The farmers exemplify a relationship of living sustainably with nature, that requires giving, as much as receiving. We see into their lives, the healing dimension, the changes. Unforeseen hardships, are met, with commitment, unwavering purpose, and with a touch of magic. The film is about love and partnership, how embracing the green world, will inspire us to roll-up our sleeves, and dig our hands into the soil, to grow our own. When the mind slows down, the heart opens. It is an uplifting story that is beautifully portrayed, entirely on 16mm film.
