By popular demand Farmageddon is being show at Bryant Lake Bowl again. This coming Saturday, October 29th!

That's right folks. The movie Farmageddon: The Unseen War on American Family Farms was so popular when we showed it at Bryant Lake Bowl that we had a line of people waiting and hoping people wouldn't show up so they could still buy a ticket to the sold out movie.


When & Where
Well, the movie is back and is being shown once again at Bryant Lake Bowl this Saturday from 3:00 - 4:30 PM. Afterwords there will be an extra added bonus that the people at the first showing missed out on. We will have a panel of local expert available after the movie for a Q/A time.

Please join us for this eye opening movie and learn how you can help make a difference in pushing laws forward that allow US to have the right to choose what food we put in our body. That's right folks, it was recently established that we actually don't have that right in America.

You can sit back enjoy the movie and also enjoy some of the great food Bryant Lake Bowl has to offer (yep, you can order BLB's full menu in the movie area), all while learning about a very important topic.

Purchase Your Tickets
I'd recommend pre-purchasing your tickets, which you can do through our website Farmesota.
Ticket are only $5!

All the money earned from these movie showings is being donated to Food Freedom Project and Farm-To-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. Both are excellent organizations working to preserve our rights!

Farmageddon the Movie: This Coming Saturday and Sunday in the Twin Cities!

A couple of weeks ago I put up a post about this eye opening movie coming to the Twin Cities. Well the times is here.



Just how important are the issues that Farmageddon covers? Read a couple of quotes I've included below and see how you feel about your freedom and right to eat healthy food.

"There is No Right to Consume or Feed Children Any Particular Food;There is No Generalized Right to Bodily and Physical Health; There is No Fundamental Right to Freedom of Contract." 
~ US Dept of Health & Human Services and US Food & Drug Administration, 2010

"...'no, [people] do not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;
'no, [people] do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;'
And in a kind of exclamation point, he added this to his list of no-nos: 'no, [people] do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice...'"
~ David Gumpert, TheCompletePatient.com,
quoting Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge Patrick J. Fiedler, August 2011



“[Peoples] assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families,’ is similarly unavailing because [people] do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.”
~FDA after Rawsome raid

Farmageddon - An eye-opening film coming to the Twin Cities in October

Over the last month or so, I've mentioned in my posts there has been several projects that have been occupying my time. The biggest is us trying to buy a home and getting ready to move. We are still figuring out that part, but another project that has been exciting to be a part of is working with an amazing crew of people who have been diligently combining their efforts to bring an important documentary about what is happening to small, family-run farms in the United States to the Twin Cities.


This amazing crew is known as Farmesota. They are a grass-roots community of people who are passionate about local food and food freedom, and have come together to bring Farmageddon to Minnesota.


Farmageddon introduces us to farmers and their heart breaking stories of struggling to keep their family run farms operational while they have had their animals taken and killed, had their product destroyed, their farms invaded and themselves being threatened with incarceration. However, this is more than about farmers' stories, this film is truly about our right and freedom to choose how we feed ourselves and our families.
- If it's okay to purchase fast food every meal of every day, despite the known consequences it can cause to ones health...

- If we can purchase cigarettes and kill not only our lungs but those who we stand near and are stuck breathing the second hand smoke...

- If we can fill our bodies with any number of over-the-counter and prescribed drugs...

- If we can eat meat and produce that is often recalled not in small quantities, but by thousands upon thousands of pounds...
Certainly then, we should have the right to decide if we want to eat healthy, organic, real food direct from the source, where we can actually have a personal relationship with the person(s) growing, harvesting, milking, producing, processing our food. Does that seem so wrong?
