Fresh Draught

2017

Manu, Lucie, Philippe, Amandine and Martial are farmers who have taken the Slow Food Revolution at a whole new pace.

Using only draught animals to till the fields, sow and reap crops may seem anachronistic. But now the same sceptics who once called these people dreamers and eccentrics are embracing the use of farm animals as healthy, respectful, sustainable alternatives to mechanized agriculture.

This documentary reveals how these market gardeners, foresters and cereal farmers have successfully adopted a workable business model based on quality of life. It’s an idea whose seeds are spreading to all corners of the globe ~ from stable to table.
