FARMAGEDDON
The Movie We've All Been Waiting For!

Farmageddon is truly is the documentary movie that we've all been waiting for.  It's about raw milk, farm families in peril, harmful food safety legislation and consumer food rights.

Join us for a very special private sneak preview of Farmagedon, April 10, 2010 at 7:45 p.m. at Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, Level 4 following the 2nd Annual International Raw Milk Symposium. Register here.

Farmageddon was the brain/heart child of producer/director, Kristin Canty, and takes up where Food Inc. leaves off. Kristin joins us at this special screening to talk about the genesis of this film, the farmers, film making and the impact she hopes this film will make. 

Kristin's son, Charlie, had asthma, unsuccessfully treated by conventional medicine. Her search for a solution led her to discover raw milk.  She saw dramatic changes in Charlie's health after drinking raw milk, and noticed remarkable changes in her entire family. Her search for even more fresh farm foods was interrupted when she discovered small farmers were in peril.  Subjected to heavy regulation, lengthy and expensive legal actions and out-right persecution, the farms providing foods that Kristin's family relied upon for health, were in danger of becoming extinct. 

Even as the USDA was extolling "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food", she saw the pressure on these farms had not abated, unbelievably, it had escalated. In the light of even more spirit-sapping regulations in the upcoming food safety bills before Congress, she saw the end of small farming as we know it, was nigh. 

Farmageddon is the name of the film, and the future of farming if we don't change course.

Kristin did what many mothers in her situation would do. She found a solution. In making this documentary, and telling these stories, she intends to free the farmers and by doing so, free America's families in search of their own health and life-giving solutions.

The documentary includes interviews with symposium presenters Sally Fallon Morell, Mark McAfee, Pete Kennedy and Tim Wightman and highlights the plight of farm families including the Stowers of Ohio, the Smiths of New York, the Faillaces of Vermont and many others.
