Documentary-Farmageddon with Panel Discussion

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion. Our panelists include Angela Davis, Weston A. Price Foundation Jersey City Chapter Leader; Lucia & Charlie Huebner, Owners of Beechtree Farm, and Joh McConaughy, Owner of Double Brook Farm. 

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.

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.
