Overview

Americans' right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities until they were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies.

Filmmaker Kristin Canty's quest to find healthy food for her four children turned into an educational journey to discover why access to these foods was being threatened. What she found were policies that favor agribusiness and factory farms over small family-operated farms selling fresh foods to their communities.

This film highlights the urgency of food freedom, encouraging farmers and consumers alike to take action to preserve individuals' rights to access food of their choice and farmers' rights to produce these foods safely and free from unreasonably burdensome regulations.

This important film features the work of Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund and interviews with attorneys Pete Kennedy, Esq., Gary Cox, Esq. and Judith McGeary, Esq.
