LUARS Documentary: Seeds of the North
Seeds of the North is a documentary film set in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, centered around the Lakehead University Agricultural Research Station, known as LUARS.
The film explores how agriculture, research, and community come together in a region where farming faces unique challenges. At its core, the documentary is about connection, between research and farmers, between science and everyday practice, and between long-term vision and real-world impact. The story highlights why LUARS matters, not only to farmers, but to students, communities, and anyone who depends on sustainable food systems in the North.
