ONE LAST FARM
A short documentary about Bristol’s last working farm and its fight to survive
Yew Tree Farm means everything to third-generation farmer Catherine Withers. It is her home, her livelihood, and her community. Besides producing locally grown, organic food, the farm’s grasslands and ancient hedgerows serve as a habitat for diverse wildlife. However, this ecological treasure faces pressure from a growing urban population and a cemetery expansion.
One Last Farm follows Catherine's journey over the course of a year as she fights to protect her nature-friendly farm from development.
Why This FILM?
The UK is one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries, with 1 in 6 species at risk of extinction. Small farms like Yew Tree Farm are vital for producing sustainable food, supporting wildlife, and fostering local resilience. As these farms vanish across the UK, Catherine’s fight underscores their essential role in the food system and the deep interconnection between agriculture and nature.
