Farm Crime is a Canadian true crime documentary series which premiered on CBC's online streaming service, CBC Gem, in August 2018.^[1] Created by Geoff Morrison and produced by Toronto-based production company Big Cedar Films, the series investigates unconventional crimes in the world of farming and agriculture.^[2]

The series was one of the first to be commissioned exclusively for the CBC Gem streaming platform, and was reported by CBC to have been the most-streamed original unscripted series over a seven-day period and a twelve-week period when its first season premiered. In December 2020, it was announced that Warner Bros. Unscripted Television optioned the format rights to the show, and that an American version of the show is in development.^[3]

Showrunner Geoff Morrison described the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist as the inspiration for the show in a 2023 interview.^[4]
