Will it be Farmageddon….or will it be Freedom?

“Let’s not watch in silence the destruction of our rich heritage cultivated for many centuries by farmers.” - Michael Schmidt

ABOUT FARMAGEDOON
Filmmaker, Kristin Canty'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.
