Chipotle Grammy Commercial Promotes the Small Farm Movement

TOP10PRODUCELLC
Willie Nelson and Farm Aid are in heaven right now!

The two minute commercial speaks for itself but we would appreciate some feedback from this community on this commercial.

Thank you Chipotle! We appreciate the support of small farms!

    • Small farms are what the past was about and after 70 years of neoliberal agararanomics....we have come full circle; back to the beginning, back to where we belong.

      Small farms are one of the many strategies that will make our future brighter and healthier.

      AGREE!
      everybody needs to know how to grow something. it's a matter of personal pride and survival. when you know where your food comes from and what it takes to produce it, you get a sense of respect for this planet.

    • Cultivate a better world sounds like a worthy goal. It's not over we can work to grow a better world, one good effort at a time. We don't have to be lead to the edge of the cliff.

    • I can't suppress the nagging thought of "green-washing" but that's just me. Farm Aid does speak appreciatively on their site. Wonder why Chipotle doesn't?
      Would like to see a more explicit expression of support at the end of the video but kudos to Chipotle.
      (The original Coldplay song and video ("The Scientist") are really good and well worth a listen/look.)

    • Great post! Thanks so much, this will make me stop to think a little before I bad mouth Chipotle again... which I undoubtedly will but now they deserve at least some kudos.

    • A rather nice video. I happen to have a garden and am thinking about getting a milk cow for organic milk for my kid. My father had a milk cow and I fell in love when I was seven. Many of my friends supply good food for local restaurants.

    • It's well done and cute. If one is already empathetic and understanding of the issues, it's effective. If not, it might be too cute to be informational, instructional and conversional. I think the uninitiated might miss the point.
