嘿 约翰 在吗 Hey, John, you there?
在 请讲 Yeah, go ahead.
这些动物现在的处境很糟糕 These animals are in a terrible spot.
我们要把它们都转移到安全些的牧场上 We're gonna move 'em all into a pasture that's safer.
它们会没事的 They'll be fine.
收到 Copy.
来自加州南部的重大新闻 Breaking news in Southern California.
现在已经有六起重大森林火灾了 Six major wildfires now.
约翰 怎么了 你要和我们一起吗 John, what's going on? Are you coming with us?
莫莉 火灾离我们还远着呢 Molly, it's still really far away.
但是我们准备好 以防万一 好吗 But just get prepared in case, okay?
我的天呐 Oh, my God.
现在那个方向发生了火灾 There's fire over there on that side.
下面那边也是 There's fire down there.
然后那边山上是第四起 And then there's a fourth one that's up that way.
这个弄好了 你们就可以走了 As soon as you're done this, you guys can go.
我们要在把16区的母羊和小羊都转移走 We're gonna move the ewes and the lambs all together in 16,
这才是一个草场的动物 and that's just one pasture.
约翰 这样不行 John, I'm not okay with this.
窗外有太多的烟了 I can see a lot of smoke out the window.
我们得走了 We're gonna go.
我做梦也想不到 我们会到这个地步 I never dreamed we could even get to this point
要失去这么多 to have so much to lose.
但是 我想错了 But... I was wrong.
最大的
小小农场
好了 小家伙 你们可能会被撞倒 Okay, guys, you're gonna get knocked down.
但是要记住 要站起来并且勇往直前 But just remember, keep getting up and keep moving forward.
看 她一点也不害怕 Look. She's not scared.
所有人都说我们的想法很疯狂 Everyone told us this idea was crazy.
试图经营自然生态农场 That attempting to farm in harmony with nature...
不计后果 就算有可能成功 would be reckless, if not impossible.
但更疯狂的是 这一切都开始于 But what's crazier is that this all started
我们对一只狗的承诺 with a promise we made to a dog.
嗨 我正在烹饪扇贝 Hi! So I'm doing a scallop cook-off,
莫莉
约翰已经把我做好的都吃了 and John ate all the ones that I had already done.
真的太好吃了 But they were so good.
约翰和我生活在圣莫尼卡的一个小公寓里 John and I were living in a tiny apartment in Santa Monica.
我想让大家都看看新的一天是如何开启的 I just wanted everybody to see how I started my day.
约翰
他还没睡醒呢 He's still half asleep!
约翰是摄影师 John was a cameraman
参与了世界各地的野生动物项目 working on wildlife projects all over the world.
我喜欢这些西葫芦 I love these zucchinis,
你看他们形状都不一样 'cause look how they're all different shapes.
莫莉以前是私人厨师和美食博主 Molly was a private chef and culinary blogger...
切成厚块 能做出非常美味的汤 And the dense flesh makes for a really nice soup.
她擅长用传统烹饪 Specializing in the health benefits of
来健康养生 more traditional cooking methods.
骨头汤富含丰富的骨胶 Bone broths are rich in gelatin,
有助于消化 which supports the digestion...
她还懂得更深层的道理 And she knew an even deeper truth.
食材的健康 The health of our food
其实取决于它们的种植方式 is really determined by how it's farmed.
我们曾彼此承诺 We promised each other
要一起过有意义的生活 that we'd build a life of purpose together.
对莫莉来说 毫无疑问 And there was no question for Molly
一座农场足以让人生有了意义 that we'd both find plenty of purpose on a farm.
不过这个农场要有果园 花园 动物 But this farm would have orchards, gardens, animals...
不仅仅是个农场就行了 Not just any farm.
我们要的是儿童绘本里那样的农场 We're talking like something out of a children's book.
我们会种杏子 桃子 梅子 We would grow apricots and peaches, plums,
油桃 樱桃 金橘 nectarines, cherries, kumquats,
柚子 番石榴 酸橙 grapefruits, guava, limes...
她的梦想是真真正正地种植 Her dream was literally to grow
所有她做饭可能用到的食材 everything she could possibly cook with.
这个菜园 This vegetable garden,
也不仅仅是个菜园就行了 it wouldn't be just any vegetable garden.
我们还会种花 种香草 We would have flowers, herbs...
而且所有这一切 And we'd do all of this
都与自然生态和谐共处 in perfect harmony with nature.
百里香 迷迭香 牛至 罗勒 Thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil...
就像过去的传统农场 Like a traditional farm from the past.
茴香 草莓 薄森梅 Fennel, strawberries, boysenberries,
树莓 甘蓝 西兰花 raspberries, kale, broccoli...
听起来就是很有意义的人生 Sounded like a meaningful life.
但是我们的现实 But our reality was so far away
却和农场生活相去甚远 from anything like a farm.
好了 准备好了吗 开始 Okay, ready? Go ahead.
我们很快就能收获红彤彤的西红柿了 So I'm starting to get the red tomatoes.
她为食材的激动很有感染力 Her excitement for food was infectious.
这就是我的九月阳台花园 And that is my September porch garden.
但是如何实现我们的理想 我毫无头绪 But I couldn't see any way to make it happen...
你看 我买到了小芥末芽 Look, I've got these little wasabi sprouts.
直到有一天 我们拯救了一个小生命 Until one day, when we saved a life
也改变了我们的一生 that would change ours.
我在工作的时候拍摄过一个动物狂 I found myself filming an animal hoarder for work.
她在一个房子里养了200只狗 She had 200 dogs in one house.
巴斯特 安静点 Buster, quiet.
政府要来带走所有的狗 And the county was about to come take them all.
嘿 我喜欢这个小家伙 Hey, I like this guy.
就这样 我遇见了托德 That's where I met Todd.
嘿 小家伙 Hey, buddy.
她把他养在一个小笼子里 She kept him in a tiny pen
和他在一起的那些大白熊犬 with these huge Great Pyrenees dogs
有他三倍那么大 three times his size.
莫莉 就这只 你看见了吗 Molly, this one right here. You see him?
得了吧 约翰 认真的吗 馊主意 Come on, John. For real? Bad idea.
但是你看他的眼睛 Yeah, but look at his eyes.
今天 在特哈查比附近的一家收容所 Today, about 200 animals have been removed
大约200只动物被转移 from a home near Tehachapi.
雕刻机
很多狗狗都被执行安乐死了 Many of the dogs had to be euthanized.
而我们拥有了一个小宝宝 We had a baby.
托德
托德让我们的人生更有意义 Todd filled us with purpose.
你要开始表演了吗 Are you gonna do anything fun?
-他在干嘛 -四仰八叉 - What's he doing? - Rollin' on his back.
滚一圈 真棒 Roll over. Good.
握手 去椅子那坐下 Shake. Chair.
说话 Speak.
好孩子 Good boy!
我们对它许下承诺 We made one promise to him.
我们家会是它的最后一个家 Our home would be his last.
-喂 伙计 我是住楼下的雅各布 -但问题是... - Hey, guys, this is Jacob from downstairs. - The problem was...
-你们的狗一整天 -我们一离开家 它就开始叫 - Your dog's been barking... - if we left, he would bark...
-都在叫 -八小时不停歇 - all day. - Nonstop for eight hours.
-没错 -我们尝试了所有办法 - Yeah. - We tried everything.
我们给托德找了洛杉矶名气很大的训狗师 We got Todd one of those fancy LA dog trainers.
不吠叫
狗绳训练
静坐
训狗窍门
如果你的狗无法控制吠叫 If your dog's an out-of-control barker,
这个项目正适合你 then this program is for you.
-事实上 我们找了不止一家 -却毫无作用 - Actually, a couple of them. - That didn't work.
我们买了一个吠叫训练精油项圈 We got him a citronella barking collar
每次它一叫 就会朝它脸上喷橘子精油 that sprays orange in his face every time he barks.
然而我们到家的时候 And when we got home,
整个屋子都是橘子的味道 the whole entire house smelled like oranges,
精油瓶都空了 and the canister was empty.
我们还买了一件安抚衫 Then we got him this anxiety shirt
能够包裹住它的身体 that was supposed to wrap around him
让它平静下来 and make him really calm.
才穿上第一天 它就把地毯咬破了 That was the day he tore the carpet up.
服务犬
你记得你给它穿过服务犬背心吗 Oh, and remember you even tried that service vest
这样你就能一直带着它了 so that you could take him everywhere?
老天啊 托德 我们在干坏事啊 Oh, man, Todd. This is so wrong.
我们料到会有这一天 We sensed it was coming.
房东的电话来了 The landlord called.
驱逐通知 请在三十天内搬离
托德被勒令离开 Todd had to go.
但是搬去新的公寓 Moving to another apartment
并不能解决托德的吠叫问题 wouldn't stop Todd's barking.
我们不能就这么放弃它 We couldn't just give up on him.
突然我们灵光乍现 And then it hit us.
莫莉的梦想可以完美解决所有问题 Molly's dream could be the answer to everything.
我们想到一个好主意 We had a great idea
准备就绪
但经济状况却不允许 with no way to pay for it.
我们读遍了关于经营农场的书籍 So we read every farming book we could find.
《现代农民》 《务农很简单》
冒昧致电老农场主 Cold-called old farmers.
起草经营计划 And we drew up a business plan.
农场业务
接下来需要找一个投资方 It was time to find an investor.
在此之前 我们和最亲密的家人朋友 But first, we shared our vision
分享了我们的宏伟愿景 with our closest friends and family.
老麦克莫利有个农场 Old MacMolly had a farm
咿呀咿呀哟 E-I-e-I-o
是的 他们取笑了我们 Yeah, they made fun of us.
这里哼哼 那里哼哼 With an oink-oink here And an oink-oink there
说来话长 It's a long story.
但却很有效 大家口口相传 But it worked, because one person told another person...
我们的梦想逐渐广为人知 And the word of our dream spread and spread.
最终让我们收获了投资者 Until it eventually connected us to some investors
那些认为传统农耕才是未来方向的人 who actually saw this old way of farming as the future.
现在我们就缺一个农场了 All we needed was a farm.
苹果园可以放在这里 The apple orchard could go here.
我们要养很多很多不同种类的鸡 And we need a lot of different kinds of chickens.
还得给番荔枝树找个地方 We need to find a spot for cherimoya.
我觉得那边放花园最完美 And over there, I saw a perfect spot for a garden.
-不知道我们能不能种香蕉 -疯了吧你 - I wonder if we can grow bananas. - Oh, my God.
来吧 托德 Come on, Todd.
我们到啦 Here we are.
杏桃巷农场 Apricot Lane Farms.
托德跑过去了 There's Todd runnin' by,
世界上最快乐的狗 the happiest dog in the world.
摩尔帕克 加州
莫莉大胆的梦想带我们来到这片 Molly's bold vision has landed us on over 200 acres
1200多亩的僻远之地 of somewhat neglected land
洛杉矶以北约一小时车程 about an hour north of Los Angeles.
看起来以前是个 Looks like what used to be
灌溉池之类的东西 an old irrigation pond or something.
-对托德来说太完美了 -托德 快过来 - To Todd, it was perfect. - Todd, come here!
快过来 真棒 Come on. Yeah!
莫莉 快看 蜂巢 Molly, look. It's a beehive.
天啊 全死了 Man, they're all dead.
在这里感觉不到什么生机 It didn't quite have an abundant feeling of life,
附近也是如此 yet not much around here does.
周边全是这种大型的单一种植型农场 We're surrounded by these large-scale monoculture-type farms.
在我们的北面 To our north,
是曾经世界最大的室内养鸡厂留下的废墟 the ruins of the largest indoor egg operation in the world.
这个鸡蛋王国里曾经养殖了350万只鸡 Egg City once housed 3.5 million chickens,
每天能产约200万枚鸡蛋 laying about two million eggs a day.
在我们的西面 To our west,
是绵延数里的覆盆子种植大棚 miles of red raspberries growing under plastic hoop houses.
这大概就是现在农业的样子吧 And I guess this is what farming has become,
是农民们赖以生存的方式 so that farmers can make a living.
我们所在的农场 And the farm we're on
也遵循了类似的单一生产方式 followed a similar monocrop-type approach.
他们只种植柠檬和牛油果 They were really only growing lemons and avocados.
很显然 我们计划中的农场 So it's pretty clear that our plan for a farm
太不走寻常路了 is way outside of the norm.
你养蜂多少年了 So, how long you been beekeepin'?
四十二年 Forty-eight years.
你之前来过这里吗 Whoa. You ever been out here before?
没有 Nope.
你觉得它们为什么会死 So what do you think killed 'em?
你做这行多久了 How long you been doin' this?
养蜂吗 Beekeeping?
我们要对付的是这个 This is what we're fighting.
砸都砸不碎 It doesn't smash.
土壤非常贫瘠 The soil was dead,
我们不知道该怎么让它恢复生机 and we had no idea how to bring it back to life.
更糟糕的是 每个农场主听我们说起 And worse yet, every other farmer
莫莉的农场梦后 we've mentioned Molly's dream farm idea to
都觉得我们疯了 thinks we're crazy.
传统农耕咨询业务... Consultant for traditional farming...
-没问题 随时可以 -她跟我说"约翰 - Okay, anytime. - She was like, "Hey, John,
一个叫艾伦·约克的今天会来 This guy named Alan York is coming today
给我们一些建议" to give us some advice."
你有什么问题吗 Are there any questions?
在传统农业耕作领域 He's like this world-renowned expert
他是世界知名的权威专家 in traditional farming practices.
他穿着亚麻和凉鞋就来了 And he shows up wearing all linen and sandals.
我简直 一点也挖不下去 I can't even... get in an inch.
但他抑扬顿挫的说话方式 But there was this emphatic cadence to his speech
让他听起来挺靠谱 that made him sound believable.
这是魔鬼草 This is devil weed.
艾伦·约克
干活久了 By the end of the day,
你会恨死这种植物的 you will have such hate for this plant
你会放火烧光它 像某种仪式似的 that you'll burn that stuff, as if it's a ritual.
莫莉 这种植物也是我的最爱 Molly, here's another of my favorite plants.
-蒺藜 -这能干什么 - Puncture weed. - What does that do?
你摸摸看 Look. Just grab a hold...
-喜欢它吗 -不 - Do you love it? - No.
莫莉 Molly.
-你不喜欢它吧 -我讨厌它 - You don't love it. - I hate it.
-莫莉觉得他很棒 -莫莉 - Molly thinks he's great. - Molly.
-但他对农场的设想... -把这个当滤网用 - But his goal for the farm... - This is your filter.
倒上去就行了 Pour it through it.
听起来太理想化了 sounds almost too good to be true.
我们的目标是模拟 The objective is to emulate
自然生态系统 how natural ecosystems work.
通过多样性调节自身 They regulate themselves through diversity.
这样就不会有虫害或是病害 So you don't get epidemics of pests and disease.
这个生态系统 The natural ecosystem
现在还处在一场史无前例的干旱中 right now is in the middle of a record drought,
要想让它起死回生 so to build a life here,
我们能利用的只有井里 we have to rely entirely on a finite
有限的水资源 source of water from our well.
莫莉 准备好了吗 Molly, you ready?
来吧 灌溉开始啦 Here we go. Irrigation's comin' on.
靠 约翰 这边没什么水 Shoot. John, it's barely comin' out.
水肯定去哪儿了 It's goin' somewhere.
艾伦保证说 这种耕作方式 Alan promised that farming in this way...
现在彻底没了 It just shut off.
最终和冲浪是一个道理 will eventually feel like surfing.
找到水管断的地方了 Found the broken line.
这一点儿也不像冲浪 This feels nothing like surfing.
我的天 我们想灌溉草场 Oh, boy. So, we tried to irrigate our pastures,
-当我们从井里引水上来时 -你得把它关了 - and when we turned on the well... - You should probably turn it off.
行 我知道了 Okay, I hear you.
艾伦不关心灌溉草场的事 Alan didn't really care about watering the pastures.
他更在意怎么让一切从头开始 He was more focused on starting over with everything.
该把那些根本不该种的植物 Where can we get rid of things
扔到哪里去 that should have never been planted?
这样才有机会建立多样性系统 That opens up the opportunity to diversify.
我们砍了三百多亩的树 We ripped out 55 acres of old trees.
推起了肥料堆 We built compost piles.
要想盈利 我们应该种作物 To make money, we need to be growing crops,
但我们把它们都砍掉了 and all we're doing is ripping the crops out.
烧光它 Burn it!
我们重修了一个旧池塘 We restored an old pond.
疏通了八公里长的灌溉管道 We fixed over five miles of irrigation.
艾伦说服我们建造了一个 Alan convinced us to build
最先进的蚯蚓堆肥设施 a state-of-the-art worm compost facility,
其实就是个用来收集蚯蚓屎的 which is essentially an oversized palace
巨大宫殿 for collecting worm poop,
还被他命名为土壤养料圣杯 what he called the holy grail of soil food.
然后我们把这些蚯蚓屎放进专用设备里加工 And then we're gonna brew this poop into a tea
变成土壤的养料 and feed it to our soil.
我们在前六个月就花完了一整年的经费 We've blown through the first year's budget in six months,
而我们一棵作物都没种 and we haven't even planted a single crop.
在南方 我们有句老话 You know, we have a saying in the South,
永远来不及尽善尽美 Never enough time to do it right,
但永远来得及从头来过 But always enough time to do it over.
-已经挺不错了啊 -还远远不够 - That's pretty good. - Barely.
行吧 Okay. All right.
我们雇了两个工人 弗拉维奥和拉乌 We hired two guys, Flavio and Raul.
拉乌十四岁起就在这个农场工作了 Raul had been on this farm since he was 14 years old
他已经经历了五任农场主 and has actually worked through five of its owners.
其中有两任是因为农场无力还贷 Oh, and two of those owners were the banks
而收回抵押的银行 that foreclosed on the farm when it failed.
但至少他对农场很了解 But at least he knows the farm.
弗拉维奥在他爸爸的墨西哥千亩级农场上长大 Flavio grew up on his father's thousand-acre farm in Mexico.
他经验丰富 He brought some experience,
但要想实现我们的计划还需要更多帮手 but our plan would require more hands.
来吧 托德 Come on, Todd.
-加入我们 -于是 莫莉又开始发帖找人 - Come join us. - So, Molly got back on the Internet.
在传统农场耕作 Traditional farm.
这办法确实有用 And it worked.
我们迎来了来自世界各地的年轻人 We had young people from all over the world
他们想学习如何耕作 就像我们一样 coming to learn how to farm, just like us.
你从这个角度铲下去 把土翻起来 You want to dig in at an angle and just let the stuff fall down.
这样就行了 Yeah, exactly like that.
我们把杂草铲进拖车时 我突然看到有东西在动 We were shoveling weeds into the trailer and I saw movement,
然后就发现了这个刚出生的小家伙 and there's a tiny little newborn baby.
他想躲起来 He's tryin' to hide.
今天受到太多惊吓了 Too much excitement for one day.
我们终于可以给以前的灌溉池注水了 We're finally ready to refill the old irrigation pond.
-倒吧 玛丽亚 -你们有新家啦 小鲶鱼 - Go ahead, Maria. - Enjoy your new home, little catfish.
我们要把这第一批蚯蚓 送到12米深的 We are adding the very first worms to the 40-foot
杏桃巷农场的土里了 Apricot Lane Farms bin.
来吧 莫莉 开动它 All right, Molly, open that baby up.
我们终于开始施肥啦 All right! We are compost tea-ing!
你教会我们一切 You introduced us to all of these things.
植物滋养土壤 Plants build soil.
没有植物 土壤不可能肥沃 If there's no plants, there will never be any fertility.
我们种了好几吨树苗 We planted tons of new trees,
我们种下覆土作物[增加土壤肥力] we seeded cover crop,
挖沟渠以免水土流失 dug culverts to prevent runoff,
把马场改建成花园 种了些本土植物 还有别的 turned a horse arena into a garden, planted natives and other...
多得说不完 还建了鸡笼 The list went on for pages. Built chicken coops.
每次我完成一件事 Every time I crossed something off my list,
就会出现更多的待办事项 10 more things went on.
我们的目标是 让生态多样性尽可能最大化 Our goal is the highest level of biodiversity possible.
明白了 Got it.
我们也确实这么做了 And we took that literally.
邮局几点给我们打的电话 The post office called us at what time?
五点半 5:30.
为了它们 For this.
它们是我见过最可爱的小东西 They're the cutest things I've ever seen!
托德 你觉得怎么样 What do you think of this, Todd?
你怎么这么凶 Why are you so mean?
好像在这里可以看到 It was like every animal
儿童书里的所有动物 you'd see in a children's book.
它们每一个 Each...
都为农场出了份力 with a purpose to contribute.
一百只小鸭子 One hundred baby ducks.
小鸭子
我们以前一直念叨的在这里成真 It was everything that we had ever talked about.
我被萌化了 I can hardly stand it!
我们赢了一只公牛 Yay! We own a bull!
来看看卡亚和罗茜 我们的牲畜守卫犬 Presenting Caya and Rosie, our livestock guardian dogs.
至少 总有一天 Well...one day.
莫莉和约翰对此很高兴 Molly and John are very happy about this,
托德可不高兴 but Todd is not.
看都不想看我们一眼 He won't even look at us.
这是新鸡舍 Here's the new chicken house.
那里有几只鸡 There are some chickens over there.
绵羊也爱钻鸡舍 And the sheep like the chicken house, too.
你们觉得怎么样 鸡仔们 What do you think, chickens?
怎么啦 Why?
你们在我的办公室干啥 What are you guys doing in my office?
哦 伙计 Oh, boy.
可怜的托德 Poor Todd.
又和大白熊犬纠缠了 Back with Great Pyrenees again.
他们的粑粑是我们的金子 Their poop is our gold.
和庄稼一样值钱 It's as valuable as a crop.
现在你就可以得到 And now you can build compost
很高质量的堆肥 that is of very high quality.
覆土作物: 茎叶覆盖地面可防止土壤冲刷，亦可增加土壤养分
动物 堆肥和覆土作物 The animals, compost and cover crops
都起着同一个作用 all share the same goal,
让我们的土地焕发生机 to bring our soil back to life,
让土地充满有益微生物 infusing it with a host of beneficial microorganisms.
我希望这方法有用 I just hope it works,
因为艾伦说 没有微生物 because Alan said without the microorganisms,
我们这一套耕种方式完全没用 our way of farming won't work at all.
-进行的怎么样 乔希 -时不时地 - How's it going, Josh? - Every now and then,
你用橡皮管浇灌的时候 when you hit it with the hose,
会被溅一脸的... you get a nice face full of...
-来吧 -快上去 托德 - Come. - Get in there, Todd.
农场上有了 We had everything on the farm
我们想要的一切 we could have ever wanted.
就是这样 一下子就吃完了 That's it. They went through that fast.
但我们少了一样东西 But we were missing something
一个真正的农场必不可少的东西 that every real farm needs.
她来到的那天 And the day she arrived,
农场这才完整了 the farm felt complete.
她来时怀着小猪仔 She came to us pregnant,
不过她老是拉肚子 but also with horrible diarrhea. Ugh!
更糟糕的是她原本的名字 And the only thing worse was the name she came with,
丑女贝蒂 Ugly Betty,
我们很快给她改名艾玛 which we quickly changed to Emma.
老天 她在里面到处拉屎 Oh, man, she pooped everywhere in here.
说起照料我们的动物 When it comes to the care of our animals,
我渐渐明白 I've begun to realize
艾伦只知道 that there's really only one thing
区区一件事 that Alan knows about them.
为了保持农场的生态健康 我们需要养动物 You need animals for a farm to be healthy.
然后就没了 And that's it.
让她吃蔬菜的唯一法子 The only way she'll eat her greens is
就是把菜混在泡过谷物的苹果醋酱里 if we douse it in a soaked-grain apple cider vinegar dressing.
你为什么会不喜欢橙子 How come you don't like oranges?
她对农场的第一份贡献就是 Her first contribution to the farm was
破坏我们的牧场 destroying our pastures
还有 浪费水 and wasting water.
不过她知道她在做什么 But she knew what she was doing.
她把农场当成了 She was making the farm
自己的家 her home.
第二年
一年了 We're a year in =
莫莉和艾伦还要种20英亩的果园 and Molly and Alan still have one 20-acre orchard to plant.
我只建议种三种果树 I only suggested three fruit tree varieties.
但艾伦让农场结构变得很复杂 But Alan is making this farm so complicated.
我觉得我们永远离不开他了 I feel like we're gonna be reliant on him forever.
我们叫它"水果篮" We call it the fruit basket.
75个不同品种的核果 Seventy-five different varieties of stone fruit.
李子 桃子 油桃 樱桃 Plums, peaches, nectarines, cherries,
-你可能觉得这想法很疯狂 -杏子... - You may think it's a crazy idea, - apricots...
它确实很疯狂 and it very well may be,
但是 多元 多元 再多元 but, diversify, diversify, diversify.
就是整个农场生态的纽带 That's the link to the whole thing.
有猪仔吗 Are there piglets?
干得漂亮 艾玛 Good job, Emma.
你觉得她会生几只 How many do you think she'll have?
他们说 大概八个十个 They said, like, maybe eight or ten,
但她很瘦小 but she's pretty small.
五只 就这样结束了吗 Five? Is that gonna be the end?
她看上去已经完事了 She seems like she might be done.
如果就生这几只 我觉得还不错 If she stops now, I'd be good.
她又在生了 She's pushing again.
七个 Seven?
已经准备好跑了 Already ready to run.
九个 Nine!
我开始有点紧张了 I'm startin' to get a little nervous now.
-又来一只 -好啊 - Another one. - Okay.
这只大 Oh, it's big.
等等 已经11只了吗 Wait. Is that eleven?
我不知道 记不清了 I don't know. I lost count.
-还有一只 -太疯狂了 - There's another? - This is crazy.
-又来一只 -哦天哪 - Another one? - Oh, geez, no.
现在有几只了 How many is that now?
我觉得已经有12只了 I do believe we've hit a dozen.
她哪来这么大的肚子 How did she have room?
她这么瘦 我想不通 She was so skinny. I don't understand.
-是 不过这几天你把她喂的很饱 -我知道 - Yes, but you've been feeding her well for the last couple days. - I know.
天哪 又来一只 她又生了几只 Oh, no. Another one? She's created a few more.
她知道该怎么办 She knows what to do.
不 我的天 Oh, no. Oh, my God.
-认真的吗 -我的天呐 - Are you serious? - Oh, my goodness.
-这太有趣了 -我爱我们的生活 - This is so fun! - I love our life!
你洗手了吗 约翰 Have you washed your hands, John?
-这有14个 -我的天啊 - Oh, there's 14. - Oh, my gosh.
我们有麻烦了 We're in a lot of trouble.
又来一个 我的天啊 Another one. Oh, my gosh.
我想我们正式成为养猪户了 I think we're officially pig farmers.
-约翰 又来一个 -不是吧 - Hey, John, another one. - No.
约翰 请小心点 John, please be careful.
我不确定是哪一时刻 I'm not sure when the moment is that
让你真正感觉获得了"农民"的头衔 you actually feel like you've earned the title of "Farmer."
什么 Uh-oh. What?
我的天 Oh, my God.
嗨 Oh... Hey!
每天都感到既惊险 Each day still feels both terrifying
又神奇得无法预测 and magically unpredictable.
这是一颗异常大的鸡蛋 This is an abnormally large chicken egg,
我们要嗑开它看看 and we are gonna crack it to find out
里面有什么惊喜 what kind of surprises are inside.
另一个蛋 Another egg!
太神奇了 That's amazing.
鸡蛋里还有另一颗蛋 It was an egg in an egg.
嗨 剪刀嘴 Oh, hi, Scissor Beak.
我们没想到这是我们第一个突破 We didn't expect this to be our first breakthrough.
他们在商店排队等我们送货 They line up at stores waiting for our delivery.
杏桃巷农场 牧养鸡蛋
不到一小时就卖了五十打 Fifty dozen sell out in less than an hour.
真的是在争夺这些鸡蛋 Literally fighting over them.
我们打开了市场 We're onto something.
所以我们扩大了养殖 So, we got a lot more.
我们的农场有200多种不同的动植物 We're farming over 200 different things.
艾伦称这种多样性 And Alan claims that all of this diversity
会带来简易化 will somehow lead to simplicity.
这个惯性轮正在建造 The flywheel is being built,
现在它变成了自我持续 so now it becomes self-perpetuating
自动调节的过程 and self-regulating.
所以我想象出一个圆环 充满生机 So I picture this circle, full of life,
有植物 家畜 野生动物 with plants, livestock, wildlife,
所有东西在一起 all working together,
推动我们前进 pushing us forward,
使我们的土壤更肥沃 building our soil,
和谐共存 living in harmony.
再好不过了 That would be great.
你要一直寻找集合成一体的机会 Always you're looking for opportunities to integrate,
让一切都和谐运作 so that everything works in harmony.
比如我们种植覆土作物 For example, we've established cover crops
来重建土壤 to rebuild our soil.
问题是 The problem,
这需要更多劳动力来割草 this requires more labor to mow them.
但艾伦很快就转变了我们的看法 But Alan quickly shifted our lens,
称这个问题背后是机遇 calling it a problem with an opportunity.
覆土作物为我们的羊提供食物 That cover crop is food for our sheep.
之后 未知因素 And then, the X factor.
当羊从草地上踏过 As they trample the grass,
它们会留下粪便和尿液 they leave behind their droppings and urine.
这会循环回来 It all circles back
加强土壤的健康 to the health of the soil.
我们正进入一个再生的阶段 We're entering a phase of regeneration
不只是简单的耕种 beyond just simply farming.
那些珍贵的野生动物 Intermixed among our animals,
也随我们的动物一起 重返这片土地 the delicate wildlife is returning to our land.
农场也成了它们的栖息地 The farm is becoming a habitat for them, too.
诀窍在于平衡农场的需求 The trick will be to balance the needs of the farm
和野生动物的需求 with that of the wildlife,
这是艾伦一开始就推崇的 something Alan has encouraged from the beginning.
-你在水泵旁边找到的 -是的 - You found all these around the pump? - Yeah.
郊狼 Coyote.
它们咬死了多少 How many did they get?
大概十二只吧 About a dozen.
我们得装个电围栏什么的 We need to put up an electric fence or something,
这样它们不会跑到农场外面 so they can make it to the house.
我知道我们有些邻居 I know I've got some neighbors
可能会因为郊狼咬灌溉线 who would probably shoot a coyote
而射杀它们 for chewing an irrigation line,
但我们试图找到 but we're trying to figure out
郊狼在这里扮演的有益角色 what beneficial role the coyote plays here.
我感觉尽力不去 I feel it's very humane
杀掉郊狼是件仁慈的事 to try to prevent us from having to kill them.
只要我们让郊狼 Well, if we make it difficult
不能轻易杀死鸭子 for the coyote to kill the ducks,
它们会另寻觅食途径 it'll figure out another way to get some food.
-至少值得试试嘛 -是的 - You know, it's at least worth trying again. - Yeah.
现在围栏一直围到池塘 So now with the fence running all the way to the pond,
希望这样鸭子能有机会跑回来 hopefully it'll give the ducks a chance to get inside.
这招对鸡有用 It's working with the chickens.
"这是一种简单的耕作方式" "It's a simple way of farming."
艾伦总是这么说 That's what Alan always says.
这并不容易 It's just not easy.
我想 以他自己的方式 In his own way, I think
他一直是对我们坦诚相待的 he's always been honest with us about that.
但今天我们知道了一些 But today we learned about something
艾伦一直瞒着我们的事情 that Alan had been keeping from us.
莫莉 我是艾伦 Molly, it's Alan.
等你有时间 Can you please give me a call
能给我打个电话吗 when you get a chance?
显然 他一直在与一种恶性癌症作斗争 Apparently, he's been fighting an aggressive form of cancer.
我不认为他的状态能好到来拜访农场 I don't think he's feeling up to visiting the farm.
这让我感觉天崩地裂 It feels like the ground has just dropped from beneath us.
此外 And on top of that,
我们开始面对那些 we're starting to face all these new problems
我们不知该如何应对的新问题 that we just don't have the answers for.
等等 你是说在山谷前面 Wait, wait. Are you talking about what happened
还是在其他地方 in the front valley or somewhere else?
不 我在说那头猪 艾玛 No, no. I'm talking about the pig, Emma.
好吧 让我先去山谷 Okay. Let me go down to the valley first
看看发生了什么 and see what's going on there,
然后我再来找你们 and then I'll come to you guys.
这不可能是一只郊狼 There's no way this was one coyote.
郊狼发现了 The coyotes figured out
怎么把这电线扯开 how to pull this wire open.
闯进去 Went inside and...
到处都是尸体 They're all over the place.
17 18 19 20 Seventeen, 18, 19, 20.
货车上还有10只 And then there's 10 in the truck.
死了30只鸡 Thirty chickens?
对 30只 Yeah, 30.
我现在去和弗拉维奥碰头 And now I'm heading down to meet Flavio,
因为艾玛有些不对劲 because apparently there's something wrong with Emma.
等等 艾玛怎么了 Wait, what happened to Emma?
她肯定是发烧了 She's definitely got a fever.
41.6摄氏度 很高 It's like 106.9. It's high.
和牲畜健康顾问通话
没错 Right. Uh-huh.
她的乳房上部很硬 All of her udders are hard on the topside.
-乳腺炎 -对 - Mastitis. - Yeah.
她才生完17只猪仔 You know, she ended up having 17.
那可能就是病因 Probably that litter size that did it.
我们要让她退烧 We'll knock that fever down
就不会烧坏大脑了 so she doesn't cook her brain,
然后就只能祈祷了 and then just pray.
要不把猪仔弄走吧 Maybe let's take the babies away.
败血病 Septicemia.
严重感染 Rampant infection.
超过50%的病例 Over 50% of cases are caused by
是革兰阳性球菌引起的 gram-positive organisms.
你让她退烧了 对吗 You got her fever down, right?
对 Yeah.
但是她如果不吃东西 就会死 But if she doesn't eat soon, she's gonna die.
弗拉维奥 呼叫约翰 Flavio to John.
我从没见过那种情况 I never see something like that.
怎么了 What happened?
小羊仔的肠子出来了 The intestines come out from the baby.
天哪 Oh, man.
真惨 It's bad.
就像是一条突出的脐带之类的 It's like a herniated umbilical cord or something.
我得让她痛快地走 I'm gonna have to put her down.
就放在这儿吧 Just set her down here.
如果没别的办法 就给她多喝点水吧 If nothing else, it's a little more water for her.
你得吃东西 艾玛 You gotta eat, Emma.
我们热切的愿望 It's all, like, this slow disillusionment
就这样慢慢幻灭了 of our earnest intent.
单凭愿望什么也保护不了 Intent alone is not a protector.
我用尽了办法让艾玛吃东西 I've run out of ways to get Emma to eat.
她要自己决定是否想活下去 She needs to decide if she wants to live.
他们把猪仔送进去了 Now they're puttin' them in.
我不知道 她似乎很激动 I don't know. She seems excited.
来吧 Come on.
好姑娘 Good girl.
你把每一片生菜都挑开了啊 You're, like, moving every piece of lettuce out of the way.
你真是头挑剔猪 You're such a finicky pig.
努力救助那些有朝一日 In trying to save the animals
会成为盘中餐的动物 that will one day become food,
就是会产生感情 it naturally develops this bond.
而那种感情我还处理不好 And that's not something I've fully processed.
我应该没事 I think I'm okay.
第三年
但这是一群蜜蜂 But this is a swarm of bees.
我明白它们为什么出现了 I can see why they're showing up.
你看看这个地方 Take a look at this place.
比起我们最初来的时候 It's a 500% improvement compared
这个地方已经改善了非常多 to where it was when we first come out here.
我从没见过蜜蜂这样拥到一个地方 I've never seen bees swarm to one spot like this before.
这肯定是个好兆头 This is definitely a good sign.
它们来的正是时候啊 They showed up at the perfect time, huh?
看来果树也很高兴 Looks like the fruit trees are pretty happy, too.
是啊 Yeah, right?
我们的"水果篮" The fruit basket.
这是一个很重要的果园 It's an important orchard
因为品种独特且稀少 because of the rare and unique varieties,
让我们在市场上很占优势 and that's what's gonna give us an edge at the market.
随着我们进入第三个春天 As we enter into our third spring,
这里真的成为了天堂 it's truly become a paradise.
我明白艾伦热切于此的原因了 I can see now why Alan pushed for this.
看起来像椋鸟 Looks like starlings.
对 我也觉得 Yeah. That's what I think, too.
-我们失去了七成的水果 -天哪 - We lost almost 70% of the fruit. - Oh, my gosh.
我们在喂鸟 We're feeding the birds.
艾伦告诉我们这种事情 Alan told us that things like this
最后都会自然平衡 would eventually balance out.
我不明白这怎么可能 I'm just not clear on how that's supposed to happen.
听到嘀声时 请留言 At the tone, please record your message.
嗨 艾伦 我是莫莉 Hey, Alan, it's Molly.
我就是问候一下你 I was just calling to see how you're doing.
我们都很想你 So, we're all thinking of you here.
好了 保重 Okay, take care.
嘿 卡亚 住手 Hey, Caya, stop!
卡亚 Caya!
我不知道 I guess I don't know
艾伦所谓的完美和谐 what Alan's idea of a perfect harmony
是什么样的 is even supposed to look like,
因为我们为改善这片土地所做的每一步 because every step we take to improve our land
好像都在为下一起虫害害创造完美土壤 seems to just create the perfect habitat for the next pest.
显然 蜗牛在覆土作物上疯狂繁殖 Apparently, snails thrive in cover crops,
它们还喜欢吃柑橘树的叶子 and they love eating the leaves of our citrus trees,
直接影响了果树树的果实产量 which directly compromises the trees' ability to produce fruit.
艾伦应该知道怎么办 Alan would have known what to do.
但今晚我们接到电话 艾伦去世了 But tonight we got the call that Alan had died.
我有种被抛弃的感觉 In one way, I feel abandoned,
但我真的很想哭 因为失去了朋友 but I really just want to cry because I lost my friend.
嘿 约翰 你看到了吗 Hey, John, did you see this?
天哪 Man.
她都浮肿了 Yeah, she's bloated.
我知道她至少有一只幼仔 I know she's got at least one baby somewhere,
但我们得早上才能知道了 but we'll have to figure it out in the morning,
因为现在肯定找不到的 'cause there's no way we're gonna find it now.
天哪 Ah, man.
那只孤儿应该在那儿 I think that's the orphan right there.
它昨晚失去了母亲 The one that lost its mom last night.
是啊 I think so.
我们是每天给它喂三四次奶 Well, we bottle-feed it three to four times a day,
还是看看它能否自己生存 or we see if he can work it out on its own.
这种感觉真的很奇怪 对生命的逝去 It's a really weird feeling to be both heartbroken
既感到沮丧 and completely frustrated and angry
又感到气愤 at the one who has died.
艾伦显然不会希望我们因此止步 Obviously, Alan wouldn't have wanted this to stop us,
然而没有了他 我们也很难继续发展 but it's also hard to move forward without him.
约翰 过来一下 John, come here.
老天啊 我还以为这个是树干 Oh, my God. I thought that was the trunk.
咱该怎么办啊 这也太多了 I mean, what do we do? This is too many.
-我们不能下药 -不能 - So we can't put poison out. - Nope.
那咱们要怎么办 So how do they expect us to...
我也不知道 I have no idea.
简直要被淹没 This feels overwhelming.
我压根儿不想去想了 I don't even want to think about it.
过来 Go on.
一百四十五公斤 Three-twenty.
约翰 要把巴尔特带上吗 John, should we take Bart?
不了 No.
美国中部和西部的长期干涸 A long dry spell across the central and western US
已经正式发展成了全面性干旱 has now turned into a full-scale drought.
十一个州的农牧从业人员因为降水不足 Farmers and ranchers across 11 states are struggling
只能苦撑 with a severe lack of rain and snow.
其中受灾最严重的就是加州 Among the hardest-hit states, California.
干旱还在继续 As the drought continues,
池塘里也没有新鲜的雨水灌注 there's no fresh rainwater for the pond.
再加上鸭子粪便使得富营养化NAnd combined with excess nutrients from duck poop,
造成了有害藻类的爆发 it has caused a toxic algae bloom.
我们又给自己制造了新的麻烦 Another problem created by us.
农场里的每一样动植物都必须有所贡献 Everything on this farm must be contributing.
如果没有的话… And when it's not...
我们要拿一百多只鸭子怎么办 What do we do with a hundred ducks?
我总觉得托德在不停地深深凝视 I feel like Todd is constantly staring deeply
看着身边这些小到极点的细节 at these almost infinitesimal details,
仿佛分析周围世界的运作方式 like he's decoding how the world around him works.
因此 我也开始向他学习 So, I've started doing the same.
我想我弄明白了 And I think I've figured out
比起水塘 鸭子更喜欢什么了 what ducks love more than ponds.
仅仅一季的时间 In just a single season,
他们就干掉了九万多只蜗牛 they devoured over 90,000 snails.
更棒的是 他们把蜗牛转化成了果树的肥料 And better yet, they turned them into fertilizer for the trees.
于是 每当我们遇到了一个新的问题 So with every new problem that popped up,
我都会先退到局外 I'd first take a step back
仔细旁观 and watch it.
牛羊越来越多 粪便也越来越多 More cows and sheep, more manure.
对于苍蝇来说 这就是他们幼虫的绝好食物 To the fly, this is the food for their babies.
蛆 Maggots.
天哪 Oh, gosh.
但我意识到蛆对于鸡而言 But I realized maggots are just more food
更是好饲料 for chickens.
这让苍蝇的数量降低到了 This reduced the fly population
一个可控的共存水平 to a manageable level of coexistence.
不仅一个区域如此 It's not like they're just on one section.
整个农场到处都是 They're kind of everywhere.
花园里有象鼻虫 那就放鸡 Weevils in the garden, chickens.
细微观察带来了创意 Observation followed by creativity
这成了我们的必杀技 is becoming our greatest ally.
鸡要和艾玛一起喂 Make sure you guys feed that rooster in with Emma.
没问题 Yeah, I got it.
小猪崽离开了艾玛的木屋 With the piglets now gone from Emma's woods,
农场的生态系统以一种意想不到的方式 the farm's ecosystem has responded to this void
弥补了艾玛的空虚 in a rather unexpected way.
我们给他起名叫油头 We call him Greasy.
一只被斗败的丧家公鸡需要一个栖身之所 A beat-up and rejected rooster in need of a safe home.
艾伦曾和我说过 和土地的共存不能勉强 Alan told me once that coexistence with land can't be forced.
更像是一支精巧而耐心的舞蹈 It's more of a delicate, patient dance...
但并不能保证顺利 with no guarantees.
艾伦说每年都会变得更轻松 意外也会更少 Alan claimed each year would get easier and more predictable.
他说这是农业之舞的节奏 He called it the rhythm of farming.
第四年
舞步我们估计已经熟悉 Well, the dance might be familiar,
但是舞伴却一直在变 but the partners are always changing.
-你之前见过这样严重的吗 -从没 - You've never seen it this bad before? - Never.
地鼠把树都啃死了 The gophers are killing the trees.
地鼠很爱啃覆土作物 The gophers loves the cover crop.
我们不能把覆土作物挖掉 米格尔 We can't get rid of the cover crop, though, Miguel.
土壤有了它才会变肥沃 It's the only way we can build the soil.
老鹰吃地鼠 So owls eat gophers?
对 托着底下 Yep. Hold the bottom.
我们怎么知道它们会来 How do we know they'll come?
我们不知道 We don't.
事到如今 我觉得 At this point, it feels like
我们完全是为了喂鸡才种的水果 we're just growing fruit to feed chickens.
我们俩都有过这种展望 I think we both had always envisioned
可以在市场上分享我们 that the markets would be this place
杏桃巷农场
我们这种自然务农的方法 where we share the bounty of our methods.
鸡蛋售完 抱歉
天啊 Oh, man.
-他们把鸡都杀了 -这只连脑袋都没了 - They killed the rooster. - Oh, man, this guy has no head.
艾丽克丝 今早鸡舍里本应有几只鸡 Alex, how many birds should have been in that coop this morning?
应该有260只左右 There should be 260-something.
实际上有几只鸡呢 And how many were in there this morning?
我只在里面看到了20到30只 Twenty to 30 birds I saw inside.
我们少了230只鸡 不知道他们哪儿去了 We're missing 230 birds. We just don't know where they are.
我们的护栏不管用 Our... Our fences don't work entirely.
-你看到她受伤的地方了么 -看到了 - So do you see where they grabbed her? - Yeah.
看起来像是咬了好几口 Looks like it took, like, multiple bites.
我想我们得给她安乐死了 I think we have to put her down.
约翰 John!
在鸡群里 It's in with the chickens!
它跑哪儿去了 跑到了隔壁牧场里了 Where is it? It went to the next pasture.
别动 Stay there.
我的部分信仰 跟着这头郊狼一起死了 Along with the coyote died part of my belief
我那不可动摇的理想主义 in the power of an uncompromising idealism,
那个让我们有了这番成就的理想主义 the very thing that got us to such a beautiful place in our life.
一个我们无法控制的地方 A place that we cannot control.
差点忘了 And just in case we forget that,
这里还有第五个季节 around here there's a fifth season,
风的季节 the season of wind.
这次旱灾是加州1200年以来 This drought has become California's driest period
最干旱的时期 in 1,200 years.
当我们试图在农场的某些地方节约用水时 And as we attempt to conserve water on certain parts of the farm,
暴露了一个更深层的事实 it exposes a deeper truth.
我们过度依赖我们的含水层了 We are overly dependent on our aquifer,
一个依赖于降雨的有限的地下水源 a finite source of groundwater relying on rain...
第五年
就像我们一样 just like us.
45厘米的降水 Eighteen inches of rain.
我们周围 其他农场 All around us, on other farms,
表层的土壤都被冲进了大海 topsoil was washing out to the sea.
但这里没有 But not here.
我们能够吸纳 We were able to sequester
约40万立方米的水 over a hundred million gallons of water,
因为我们的庄稼和树木吸收不掉的水 because what our plants and trees didn't use
会重新回到 went back into our aquifer
地下的含水层 beneath the ground.
我们的土壤保住了 Our soil stayed.
但为什么呢 But why?
是因为覆土作物 It was the cover crops,
它们基本上完全浸泡在雨水里 essentially soaking in all the rain
就像海绵一样 like a sponge.
我不太明白 I don't understand.
他的计划是什么 这太可笑了 What's his plan? This is ridiculous.
我不知道 你最好去问问约翰 I don't know. You gotta ask John.
我觉得如果要控制郊狼 I've created an expectation that to control the coyote
就要杀死它们 means to kill him.
天哪 死了好多 God, there's so many.
我们要继续放任这种事情发生吗 Are we gonna just keep letting this happen?
是的 我们来尝试一下 All right. Let's give this a try.
记得我们是怎么练习的吧 不要追赶 明白吗 Remember what we practiced. No chasing. Okay?
不 No.
福利 Foley!
科里 Corey!
那样行不通 That's not gonna work.
要么彻底铲除郊狼 I either completely eliminate the coyote,
要么只能放弃我们整个鸡蛋业务 or we might as well abandon our entire egg operation.
艾玛猪猪再次产仔的前一天 Update on Emma the pig,
为大家更新的动态 the day before she is to give birth yet again.
还有紧张的男朋友 油头先生 And then there's the nervous boyfriend, Mr. Greasy.
这会成为它们 A little somethin' for them
追忆美好时光的一些小片段 to reflect back on the good times,
那时生活很简单 when life was simple.
猜猜小猪仔是什么颜色的 Any guess what color the babies are gonna be?
M区
这些东西在天黑的时候能拍到吗 Do these things see in the dark?
-是的 -你要布置多少 - Mmm-hmm. - How many are you setting up?
每个果园有一个 门口还有几个 Um, one in each orchard and a few by the gate.
这样我们就可以看到这里到底发生了什么 Then we'll see what's really going on out here.

为什么在花园里有只郊狼一动不动 So why is a coyote laying paralyzed in the garden?
据我所知 The best I can tell,
这只郊狼沿着篱笆追赶一只地鼠 the coyote was chasing a gopher along the fence
然后撞到了灌溉管道 and hit an irrigation line,
把水管和它自己的脖子都撞断了 breaking both the pipe and his neck.
托德 算了吧 你不能再折磨它了 Oh, Todd, come on. You can't let it suffer.
这是一个令人心碎的现实 It's a heartbreaking realization.
郊狼不仅是个危险动物 The coyote might not be just a pest.
它也可能是我们的伙伴 He may very well be our friend.
每当我抬头看银河系的时候 Whenever I look up at the Milky Way,
我总会被它的复杂性迷住 I feel so captivated by its complexity.
因此很容易忘记地球也是它的一部分 And yet it's easy to forget that Earth is a part of it.
几乎不可能感知到 It's almost impossible to grasp
我实际上是在 that I actually spin inside
我看到的银河系里转动 of that which I see.
油头在哪 Where's Greasy?
什么 What?
我不知道我是否能够原谅你 I don't know if I can forgive you for this.
看看你干的好事 Look at you.
我认为你并不明白 卡亚 这到底有多么恶劣 I don't think you understand, Caya, how bad this is.
看看 罗茜身上什么证据都没有 And look, Rosie doesn't have anything on her.
就是你干的 This was you.
有时我希望这不是真的 Sometimes I wish it weren't true.
但这些源自于失败的微小启示 But it's those tiny revelations that are born from failure
就像我们的生态系统引擎的燃料一样 that act as a fuel for the engine of our ecosystem.
我们来了 Here we are.
第二天 Day two.
罗茜 鸡的护卫 Rosie, the chicken guardian.
并且如果我注意的话 And if I'm paying attention...
好姑娘 Good girl.
我就可以利用它 I get to use it.
请不要吃这些鸡们 罗茜 Please don't eat the chickens, Rosie.
有了罗茜对鸡的看护 With Rosie the guardian dog protecting our chickens,
郊狼们现在都专注于狩猎地鼠 the coyotes are now focused on hunting gophers.
所有的有害动物 甚至地鼠 All pests, even gophers,
都有有益的一面 have a beneficial role.
例如 它们可以使土壤通气 For one, they aerate our soils.
-但地鼠太多 问题就来了 -看 看到了 - But too many gophers, and the problems start. - Hey, look. See?
地鼠在吃作物的根 The gophers ate all the roots.
多少只 How many?
一个月 我就抓了九百只 In one month, I got 900.
九百只 Nine hundred?
所以现在 讽刺的是 So now, the irony is,
我们实际上没有足够的郊狼 we actually don't have enough coyotes
让地鼠的数目回到平衡状态 to bring the gopher population back into balance.
希望 在这种微妙的共生关系中 Hopefully, there's more to this
可以产生更多的东西 delicate dance of coexistence,
因为随着我们农场的繁荣 because as our farm flourishes,
害虫们也是如此 so do the pests.
我们的庄稼越健康 The healthier our row crops,
蚜虫也就越多 the more the aphids.
水果长得越好 The better the fruit,
鸟们也就越多 the more the birds.
第七年
艾伦告诉我们 到第七年的时候 Alan told us by the seventh year,
我们的耕种就不再孤单了 we would no longer be alone in our farming.
他是对的 And he was right.
你会看到你之前从未见过的东西 You will see things that you did not see before.
当我仔细观察那些蚜虫感染的地方时 And as I looked closer at those aphid infestations,
可以看到它们的捕食者的卵 the eggs of their predator.
你只是利用了大自然的力量 You just tapped into a power of nature
并不需要特别的努力 that you can ride
就可以驾驭它 without an extraordinary amount of effort.
这和冲浪是一个道理 It's exactly the same thing as surfing.
就像在滑动的飞轮一样 The flywheel in motion.
你正在建立这种平衡 You're establishing this equilibrium.
复杂 Complexity,
多样 diversity,
相辅相成 all supporting and enhancing each other.
你将见证生命之网 You will see a web of life.
今年我们在谷仓里养了87只猫头鹰 This year we counted 87 barn owls,
它们消灭了约15000只地鼠 eating an estimated 15,000 gophers.
不仅如此 And it didn't stop there.
还有很多专业选手 A whole host of specialized players
也来这履行它们的职责 arrived to do their part.
老鹰从天空伏击 Hawks attacked from above.
穴蛇从地底突袭 And from below, gopher snakes,
鼬和獾 weasels and badgers.
还有郊狼 And along with the coyotes,
甚至连看门狗都开始捕杀地鼠 even the guardian dogs became hunters, too.
看来卡亚找了个新差事 Looks like Caya got herself a new job.
这还没种下多久呢 It hasn't even been in that long here.
那是因为这五厘米的降雨量 That's from two inches of rain.
托德 过来 Todd, come.
在所有达成的事情之中 Of all the things that have happened,
艾伦最想要为这个农场实现的事 the thing Alan wanted for this farm the most,
也是对我们来说最难实现的事情... the most difficult thing for us to achieve...
这些覆土作物看着不错 This cover crop looks great.
是我们脚下的这片逐渐失去养分的土地 Was that which was happening beneath our feet.
这就是我们在努力做的事 This is what we're fighting.
它已经没有生命了 It was dead.
毫无空隙 Compacted.
不能孕育生命 Void of diverse life.
但现在已经不是这样了 But not anymore.
因为我们在上面种了覆土植物 Because as we added cover
在上面孕育生命 and life on top,
由此一个古老的进程复苏了 a process billions of years old awakened,
生机也重新回到了土地里 and they returned.
现在 在这个小小的农场里 Now, on this little farm,
有着九十亿微生物 there are up to nine billion microorganisms.
这九十亿的微生物 Nine billion microorganisms,
分解着那些腐烂的生物 churning away at decaying life-forms.
这些微生物有目的地运作着 Purpose-driven organisms,
化死为生 alchemizing death to life
而这些 都发生在这一方健康土壤里 in just one clump of healthy soil.
所有去世的生物都被分解 Everything that dies gets broken down
分解成养育植物的矿物质和营养物 into minerals and nutrients to feed plants.
我们的农场由此活力充沛 Our farm is energized entirely
生生不息 by the impermanence of life.
你现在已经是个老人了 You might be an old guy now.
-他今天很开心 -你永远是我们第一个宝贝 - He's having fun today. - You'll always be our first baby.
我们不仅有 We not only have the support
野生动物和土地的支持 of the wildlife and the soil,
支持我们的还有我们的团队 we are surrounded by a team
他们坚信我们的方法 who believed in this way enough

我的天啊 Oh, my gosh!
他真大只 He's so big.
这已经不仅仅只是为了向我们自己证明 It's no longer just about proving to ourselves
农场可以以这种方式运作 that this way of farming can work.
你现在已经来到外面的世界了 You're on the outside now.
这更是为了他 It's for him.
好孩子 托德 You're a good boy, Todd.
它的名字是托德 His name is Todd.
它是狗狗 And he's a doggy.
等到托德去世的时候 By the time Todd died,
那个到底是谁救了谁的问题 the question of who saved who
已经不再是未解之谜了 was no longer a mystery.
他让我们见识到了我们身边 He had led us to this interconnected beauty
万物相联的美好 that surrounds us,
而他也将回到那片土地里去 a place that he will now become a part of.
他好像自己也知道 It was as if he knew
他在我们生命中的任务已经完成了 his role in our lives was now complete.
这些是樱桃树 These are the cherry trees,
