A quiet revolution is taking seed in communities all over Aotearoa, New Zealand. People are reconnecting with the source of their food and joining together to co-create a range of inspirational food initiatives.
Fruit & Nuts Unlimited! – The third documentary from the Localising Food Project, continues our kaupapa to inspire, empower and educate communities nationwide. This feature-length film explores perennial public plantings of fruit and nut trees, from open orchards in Waitate to community Food Forests on Waiheke Island.
What we have captured is a definitive documentation of a unique time, place and space…the birth and growth of the food forest movement in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Preserving a rich heritage of flavourful heirloom fruit varieties to nourish future generations.
He Tangata!
It’s about the people who are creating and sharing this abundance of kai and forming strong social connections along the way.

WHERE WE ARE AT WITH THE PRODUCTION:
As of July 2016, we have footage of over 50 locations around New Zealand and interviews with leading figures in the food forest, permaculture, open orchard and heritage orchard movments. The storyline follows a winding path of greening the red-zone in the Otakaro / Avon river area of Canterbury post the 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes; branching out into the four corners of the country for inspiration and ideation - korero and kai.
From heirloom nurseries in the far north to heritage harvest festivals in the deep south - food forests, community orchards, heritage collections, supermarkets, co-ops, backyards and common space...these places have been truly inspirational!! Providing a juicy buffet of stories to incorporate into our finished feature-length documentary.
