A short film titled “Abandoned” has been produced by the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, in cooperation with Chipotle Mexican Grill, to support local farming and promote a fundraiser at Chipotle restaurants on Halloween to benefit the foundation and Farm Aid.
Steve Ells, founder and chairman of Chipotle, said the film is designed to raise awareness about the economic hardship that family farmers face in the increasingly industrialized American agricultural system.
“Chipotle has a long history of supporting local farms,” Ells said. “Unfortunately those farms are disappearing by the hundreds each week.” Howard Pankratz, The Denver Post
