Farmageddon The Movie is by far one of the most powerful life changing films ever made. If you have any interest in local food, family farmers, raw milk, and how the government has been harassing champions of the local food movement, then you MUST SEE THIS FILM!
Kristin Canty has spent the last two years pouring her heart and soul into this fantastic film. The film already debuted in New York City, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Chico. We are so blessed to have this event in Grass Valley, California.
The reality is that military swat style raids are going on at farms around the country with families and children being held at gunpoint, sometimes for alleged misdemeanor offenses. Equipment, product, computers and animals are seized and often destroyed. This overreach of government is being guised under the name of food safety and regulation. As more and more consumers choose to opt out of the industrialized food system, market share is being lost by the big agri-corporations. It appears that the government doesn't feel that individuals are smart enough to continue to choose healthy foods for their family. You will be in complete disbelief after seeing this film.
And you can help us stop this from happening by becoming a member of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund and work on local food sovereignty. The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is a nonprofit organization designed to protect family farms when they're harassed and prosecuted unjustly. FTCLDF defends small farms which sell their farm products direct to consumers, against government interference. It's one of the most valuable organizations in the country.

 A first time filmmaker, Kristin is a Massachusetts mom whose 4-year-old son was healed of multiple allergies by adding farm fresh (raw) milk to his diet. Kristin offered to host a fundraiser for FTCLDF, and was horrified as she made posters of the farmers who were experiencing hardship at the hands of government. Kristin was moved into action, alarmed by the FTCLDF reports of armed raids of farm buying clubs and health food co-ops around the nation. Since she achieved near miraculous results by adding raw dairy to her son's diet, she found a film crew and went to work in defense of this nutritious food, which was the primary target in numerous raids. Farmageddon tells the stories, in the words of the victims themselves, of the numerous trespasses of the health bureaucrats on farmers' and consumers' civil liberties. Canty also interviews experts on health and nutrition and leading local foods advocates to give a sobering assessment of the plight of farmers who seek to meet the growing demand for healthy, ecologically grown food. Congressman Ron Paul makes a cameo appearance decrying government's overreach into the health and diet decisions of American citizens. Kristin Canty is a member of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nutrition education and activist group, as well as the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. With the film, she hopes to draw the nation's attention to the hindrances faced by honest farmers and the tragedy of bucolic farm life disturbed by food police run amok. |

"Even if you don't want to ever drink raw milk or eat pastured meats, or chemical/gmo free vegetables, I hope that you believe in our freedom to do so. I hope that we can come to realize that America's farms, farmers, and homesteaders deserve a place here, and should not be under attack by our own government."
- Kristin Canty, director and producer
