Today I’m excited to have Kristin Canty back on my blog to tell us how we can help spread the word about her movie, Farmageddon! If we can help to spread the word about this film, we will bring awareness to the nightmare that some of our beloved farmers are going through. This affects all of us, because if our farmers keep getting stomped on and stomped out, finding Real Food for our families will become impossible!
Note: SAVE FARM FREEDOM FRIDAY blog carnival is tomorrow!
Be sure to come back and link up YOUR posts about farming and food freedom. See the last Save Farm Freedom Friday post.
Here’s Kristin…
Thank you so much to Kelly for asking me to post on her blog again. After over two years of filming, editing and planning, Farmageddon…The Unseen War on American Family Farms is finally premiering. If you are unaware of this movie, please see my previous post on Kelly’s blog at that link.
I decided to make the documentary when I found out about government raids on farms that have occurred around the country, and I wanted people to know about it and become as outraged as I was. Of course, my hope is that people watch the movie, get involved, and tell others to watch the movie and get involved.
Ultimately, I would love for public pressure to be so strong that we would all be able to gain back our food freedoms, and the ability to obtain the foods of our choice from farmers of our choice.
I can’t do that alone. I am assuming that since you are readers of Kelly’s blog, you love your raw milk, pastured animal products and unsprayed vegetables as much as I do, and are willing to fight for your rights to keep consuming them.
I hope that you go see the movie, plan a screening, attend a screening, and then tell others about it so they do the same.
Watch the trailer:
Telling others you liked the movie, by word of mouth and around the internet to your friends, is the most powerful way to find the people who would like to see this film. Facebook, twitter, blogs, emails, these are all ways that you can spread the word! If you know of a small, local theater in your town that likes to show films like this, contact me:

I am so excited about the release of this movie. I have contacted Kristin to see if a screening can be arranged in my neck of the woods in Tampa. Why should DC, LA, an NYC have all the fun?
This is one of the most important movies ever made. If the government is allowed to continue to destroy real farmers, we will be unable to get the food we need to be healthy. There is no issue more vital than this.
Kristin Canty is a wonderful person, who saved her child with real food, and is using her great talent to spread the word about the persecution of real farmers. Most of the public does not even know what is happening, or what it means.
Only the truth can save our seriously threatened right to choose our food, and this film tells the truth in a way that is easy to understand.
This movie deserves all the support we can give it.
In Kentucky, food buying clubs and farmers are being raided (again) over the raw milk. We got a retreat from the raid last week, but in the apology, it was made clear that we don’t have the right to drink raw milk and that they will hone their tactics so that we real foodies will have to retreat.
We are past “protecting.” We here in KY have to think about “reclaming.” Our food freedoms are gone. If we don’t reclaim NOW, in a few months, it will be a fait accompli.
Kelly,
Thanks for letting us know about the movie… will look for it and try to get it here.
On another completely different topic… I was thinking about all the food borne bacterial illness in Europe and am wondering if fermentation may gain more traction as fermenting the food gives the “good bacteria” more power and then they might be able to stomp out more of any bad bacteria residue that is on produce. Has anyone been talking about that possible benefit angle for fermentation?
I feel fortunate to live in a state where this isn’t as much as an issue in other areas. May it STAY that way.
This movie looks WONDERFUL!!!
