If you’d like to see this amazing short film turned into a full length documentary you can help out by clicking here. The great group at Milk Products Media have about 2 months left to raise $28,000 to turn From Grass to Cheese into a feature!  Media and films like these help build support for family run farms which we desperately need more of.  So, be sure to share this video with all your friends and family and use your dollars in the best possible way at grocery stores and buy local family owned & operated!

From Grass to Cheese is a feature documentary that chronicles the ups and downs of a family-run dairy farm in Ohio during it’s first year of cheese production. From Grass to Cheese will tell the story of Nick and Celeste Nolan, their five children, and what it’s like to start up a family farm in the age of industrial agriculture.

The Cove movie can save your life and the life of your children, put it in your Netflix que today or go rent it! You’ll be amazed! Just in case you don’t see it here are the quick facts:

  1. Mercury is a poison that we are not suppose to touch, yet it is injected into CHILDREN! Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that is contained in vaccinations.
  2. In 1989 the vaccine regime started a rapid increase from 3 to 28! I’m sure you’ve heard the controversy of vaccines and autism, simple fact – yes it’s true! The #1 reason is because mercury is contained in the vaccinations. We do not have 30+ year olds with autism because they were not being injected with large amounts of mercury. That is no longer the case and now 1 in every 157 children is diagnosed with autism in the US and as high as 1 in every 80 boys. Still don’t believe me … the Amish do not adhere to the vaccine regime, the Amish do not have Autism. There has never been a scientific study of the effect Thimerosal has on humans … BAD F.D.A.! Drug companies shut down those who try to study Thimerosal before they even begin.
  3. 27,000 Dolphins are slaughtered in Taiji, Japan every year!

  4. The #1 reason for this slaughter is the search for show bottle nose dolphins (a.k.a. Flipper) which can sell for $150,000. The ones who don’t ‘qualify’ are inhumanely butchered and then sold for their meat at $600 per dolphin.
  5. You can stop the slaughter! DO NOT swim with captured dolphins on your vacation! DO NOT go to Sea World or other dolphin aquariums!

  6. Dolphin meat is not sought after and poisonous! For this reason it is falsely labeled and sold in Japan to unaware consumers. There is a media blackout in Japan that prevents the citizens from being aware.
  7. The acceptable mercury limits for human consumption is 4ppm (parts per million) dolphin meat contains 2000ppm.
  8. Be aware, the larger the fish you eat the more mercury ppm it contains! That’s right, typically the more expensive the fish the more poison you are consuming. Stick to the little guys or stay away from it all together.

This video makes me proud to live in the Carolina’s and grateful to know someone like Eric Henry of TSDesigns.   Local North Carolina companies are working together to develop a positive collaboration that keeps farming, materials, production and jobs local!  It’s a true delight to see companies working locally after so many years of product and jobs being shipped over seas.

At this stage in the game it’s a rare occurrence to find something in your house or in a store that is made in the U.S.A. and not in China.  There’s a lot of ways to be ‘green’ and I’ll be the first to admit I  fail on most of them!   I don’t compost, I don’t drive an electric car, I can’t afford solar panels, I have a full flush toilet, I don’t collect rain water … trust me the list goes on.  Someday I hope to have a self contained off the grid carbon neutral  living arrangement … until then, I do my best to support items and businesses made locally by friends and family and choose MADE IN THE USA whenever possible.
