An Almond Living Magazine feature article (published July 13, 2022) profiling Christine Gemperle and her inclusion in the BBC Earth documentary series “The Green Planet” (Episode 5: “Human Worlds,” aired August 2022). Describes how a BBC crew spent three weeks filming at Gemperle Orchards in 2020 during a spectacular bloom season, drawn by the visual beauty of Christine’s cover crops and pollinator habitat interplanted with her almond trees. Christine becomes a prominent feature in the episode, bringing to life David Attenborough’s theme of “bringing a bit of wildness back” to agriculture through blooming cover crops that support honeybee health and integrate the orchard into the broader ecosystem. Also covers the farm’s founding story (1998, siblings Christine and Erich), Christine’s biology/fisheries science background, and her hope that the documentary helps the public trust and respect modern farming.
