My husband and are are at the current (8th annual) Weston a Price Foundation
conference.It
has been a lot of fun to meet other chapter leaders, brouse the vendors, and
attend the
presentations.I would like to urge everyone to check out the Fram to Consumer
legal defense
fund, and join!! This is a really good plan to get legal aid to our farmers if
something
happens, but it needs membership fees to work ( this was modelled after the
system set up
by the homeschoolers association). With the federal govermnent looking over
peoples
shoulders are harassing many of our O.K. farmers, I think we need really this.If
you're not
convinced, ask Harley Swan ( Swan's dairy) about his cheese , confiscated and
destroyed last
year, ask Charles Horn ( Horn Farms) about his birds being seized at the OK COOP
plus the
unrelated , pending charges he has over his innocent reaction to an unanounced
visit of state
inspectors to the farm, or George Christian, who has been penalized for all
manner of petty "
violations" including a coat being hung on a wrong hook in the dairy barn, and a
cat let in by
the inspector!
