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.

As if modern government isn’t big enough, intruding in seemingly every area of our lives.  It also is regulating farming, intimidating farmers, seeking to shut them down.  Consider what’s already been publicized about Monsanto (also see the excellent Food, Inc., which was as the business types say “an absolute game-changer” for me).  I’m not a hippie, or even a bohemian, but this sort of thing rubs me as good old-fashioned wrong.
