When it comes to food and farming......
Wednesday, August 5, 2009 at 11:24AM 
This is our heart's cry. I recently discovered a movie that came out in June. Unfortunately, there isn't anywhere near us playing this movie. You will have to travel to either Austin or DFW to view it - of course!
However, I would love to purchase this when it comes out on DVD and have a viewing party on the farm. How cool would that be to watch this movie with cows "mooing", chickens "clucking", and pigs "rooting" in the background? I can smell the organic non-GMO popcorn popping right this minute.
I encourage everyone to watch this trailer and browse around the website. And if you happen to be fortunate enough to live nearby a movie theater showing this movie, go see it!
Something pretty precious occurred as Kaylyn and I were watching the trailer for the first time. Towards the end, the trailer shows images of "good farming practices" in which you see animals all on pasture- the way that it should be.
KK (our 5 year old) said outloud as they were showing these farms,"Hey, momma. That's our farm." This proud momma beemed with delight! Of course I'm pretty sure it was Joel Salatin's farm (since he was the one doing the talking), but still she recognized what our farm, a real farm, looks like.
The movie is call Food, Inc. They have an incredible website with a wonderful blog filled with lots of good information. The more awareness we can bring around eating locally and supporting farmers around us, the better off our economy will be. I fully believe that. On top of boosting our locally economies, there is no comparison to eating meats raised solely on pasture when it comes to health benefits and humane issues. One thing we, as the consumer, must understand is this. Here is a quote from the movie. "When we run an item past the super market scanner, we're voting. For local or not; organic or not." This is the movie we've been waiting for. I can't wait to see it! Here is a trailer of the movie.

This really is a great movie, and it has prompted my husband and me to make many changes in how we shop and eat and relate to food! I just found your website tonight, and I'm so happy to have discovered you!
I do hope you will let us know if you manage to arrange a showing at the farm... :)
Hey. We have a mutual friend (Shauna Maness). I have been reading your blog for years (it seems like). Anyway,the other day I was at my Chiropractor's office and he gave me a flyer about "Yonder Way Farms." I thought to myself, "Isn't that the name of Shauna's friend's farm?" So I looked it up and sure enough! What a small world!
"Food Inc." is a great movie. My husband and I watched it the other night. It is on DVD through Netflix. We just got "Friday at the Farm" which is about organic farming but we haven't had a chance to watch it. King Corn is another great documentary that I would recommend to anyone.
