If you don't have plans on Saturday evening... Farmagedon is showing!

Posted 12/9/2011 10:31pm by Janeen Covlin.

Hi again!

This is really a last minute notice but I thought I'd mention that the Regina Weston A. Price Chapter is showing a movie tomorrow night.  I think Sam and I are going to try get there after the deliveries. We don't often have much time to visit then so maybe we'll see you there!! 

"Farmageddon: the Unseen War on American Family Farms"

Regina Public Library Film Theatre, 2311-12th Avenue, Regina,

Saturday December 10 at 7:00pm... AND... Sunday December 11 at 9:00pm.


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 and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why.

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. Instead of focusing on the source of food safety problems -- most often the industrial food chain -- policymakers and regulators implement and enforce solutions that target and often drive out of business small farms that have proven themselves more than capable of producing safe, healthy food, but buckle under the crushing weight of government regulations and excessive enforcement actions.

Farmageddon 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. The film serves to put policymakers and regulators on notice that there is a growing movement of people aware that their freedom to choose the foods they want is in danger, a movement that is taking action with its dollars and its voting power to protect and preserve the dwindling number of family farms that are struggling to survive.

Hi Norma,

The "blog" on our website isn't really a actual blog, it's more of a place where I post the same farm news and info that I share in the email communications. I will see if I can change the name to reflect what it's used as.
I DO really hope to do more indepth articles...they are rolling around in my brain all the time :) ... but I struggle to get the blocks of time to think/write them out with the busy-ness of farm life with a young family. Someday I will master this!

Nice post, really. That’s something a lot of people are unaware of and going through life never have the chance to stumble upon and ask themselves a few questions. You’ve just contributed to raise the awareness of this country population. Props -instantempo
