Country Calendar Goes Green is a collection of Country Calendar stories on organic farming.
Ten years after Country Calendar first appeared on New Zealand television, the first organic story aired. Since that time, organic farming has become a regular topic and amused huge interest with viewers.
Country Calendar Goes Green showcases 11 stories from throughout New Zealand, of farmers who are convinced that organic methods not only work but truly are the way of the future.
Stories range from 1976's first ever organic farming story featuring Cantabrian John Scott, through to 2010's story of Alan Richardson, who is attempting to breed sheep that don't need docking on his organically run West Coast farm. Country Calendar presents various organic farming methods.
In addition, the DVD includes features on another farming method known as "biodynamics". The Milton and Rippons' wineries demonstrate their biodynamic grape growing method and Country Calendar documents the changes in biodynamics as they revisit the original 1981 story of John Pearce's Northland Farm, and the follow up in 1992.
