98: From "Farmageddon" to farm

98: From "Farmageddon" to farm

Author: Weston A. Price Foundation October 2, 2017 Duration: 32:38

Kristin Canty is the filmmaker behind "Farmageddon: the unseen war on American family farms." She is proud and pleased at how the documentary has shed light on the dangers of modern industrial farming practices. And yet now her life has taken a new turn; she has shifted from fighting those whose regulations threaten small-scale farms to running a farm herself. She now owns a farm and runs an organic/sustainable/local restaurant in New Hampshire.

You will be inspired by both stages of her life:

  • how she took on the idea of making the movie, ignoring the naysayers 
  • how it had much more success than anticipated
  • the influence of raw milk and traditional dietary practices on her son's health and, subsequently, on her lifestyle
  • the movie's impact on the raw milk movement
  • how/why she got into farming and the restaurant business
  • why real food is a priority for Kristin and her family (and why it should be one for all of us)

The conversations on Wise Traditions, presented by the Weston A. Price Foundation, explore a path to well-being that feels almost forgotten. This isn't about the latest trends or synthetic solutions; it's a deep dive into the dietary patterns and living wisdom of ancestral communities who achieved remarkable physical health. Each episode brings forward voices-researchers, farmers, clinicians, and healers-who discuss practical applications of this knowledge for contemporary life. You'll hear detailed discussions on sourcing and preparing nutrient-dense foods, the role of traditional fats, the gut microbiome, and the profound connections between soil health and human health. The podcast operates from a core principle articulated by Dr. Weston A. Price himself: that true vitality comes from aligning with nature's laws, not attempting to supersede them. It’s for anyone questioning conventional dietary advice and seeking a more rooted, evidence-based approach to fitness and holistic wellness. Tune in for a consistently challenging and enriching perspective that redefines what it means to be truly nourished, drawing on centuries of human experience to inform our choices today.
