Broken Limbs: Apples, Agriculture and the New American Farmer
a documentary


Broken Limbs was created with the single-minded intent to encourage a renewed conversation around food and farming in this country. This viewer's guide offers a few more questions and ideas to keep the conversation rolling.

There are simple things each of us as individuals can do to help ensure the survival of America's small farmers while providing ourselves and our families with better food. The first step is thinking about it.
