Amber Allen is a writer, short film maker and farmer who documents what regenerative living, traditional skills, as well as adaptive approaches to an ecologically uncertain future look like on her farm and for her family of five.
Her farm is home to a flock of chickens, a waddling of ducks and a gaggle of geese, many dogs and barn cats who roam the fields and orchards. The farm includes silvopasture, wetlands, wild hedgerows, both native and cultivated fruit orchards, medicinal flower gardens and food gardens. Amber has a no-dig/no-till approach to her gardens, plants native species, and believes in working in collaboration with the native environment and the intelligent system within it.
Amber’s work focuses on simple and slow practices that fit her everyday life, and self/community sufficiency (because no human is an island). By being creative in her perspective, she hopes to build a resilient future for her farm and community.
