Review -
“Farmageddon is a powerful film documenting the U.S. government’s constant attacks on innocent farmers and consumers in an attempt to protect massive corporate interests.
When the government controls the food you eat and the healthcare you receive, sickness is pervasive – this is exactly what has happened in the U.S.”
Dr. Joseph Mercola
Founder, Mercola.com

The FTCLDF was initiated by the Weston A. Price Foundation Board of Directors and is

It is an inexpensive and effective means for both farmers and consumers
to protect their constitutional rights to provide and purchase fresh farm goods
without the burden of over regulation and interference.
As farmers and consumers across America pool their resources,
the funds will be used to protect the rights of farmers and consumers
at local, state and federal levels through the 3 L's - litigation, legislation and lobbying!
Sustainable farming and direct farm-to-consumer transactions
further the common good and general welfare of all Americans.

Dec 2008 - FDA Stops Legal Sale of Raw Colostrum in Nevada

FDA Action Stops Legal Sale of Raw Colostrum in Nevada
Tragically, the week of December 7-12th 2008 will be the last week that OPDC will be able to deliver raw products to Reno Nevada.
The FDA has brought legal enforcement action to stop OPDC deliveries of raw colostrum to Reno Nevada.
In late 2007, with out notifying OPDC, the FDA changed the regulations pertaining to raw Colostrum and now mandates that colostrum must be pasteurized if transported across state lines. OPDC had no idea that these laws had changed until discovered last week.
This came as a quite a shock to Organic Pastures Dairy and our family of closely connected consumers. OPDC had worked for three years to gain permission from the Nevada State dairy commission for the retail sale of raw colostrum. After much debate, the Nevada State Dairy Commission graciously gave its permission after hearing the facts about DSHEA and raw colostrum. This has all come to an end. Nevada is not at fault, this is an FDA action.
We at OPDC are sickened by this stealth FDA rule change. This FDA change does not serve to increase food safety but instead forces raw products underground where it is not tested or inspected. There have been zero reported illnesses associated with raw colostrum…ever!!!
If you want raw milk or raw colostrum to once again to be found on Nevada retail shelves you will need to fight the powers in our government which do not seek to increase immune strength but do all that they can to weaken it by mandating the processing of your foods and consumption of drugs.
We are so very sorry and heart broken for your loss of this fantastic living food,
Most kind regards,
Mark McAfee
Founder OPDC

===============================================================================
IMPORTANT! I recommend that you Store Your Milk and other Food in Glass Not Plastic!l
see - http://www.mercola.com/2003/apr/16/food_storage.htm
Glass canning or preserving jars with wide mouth are available at many supermarkets,
hardware stores, kitchen/ cooking shops and thrift shops in 1 Quart / 1 Litre size and many other sizes. Ask for Mason jars.
The wide mouth makes them easy to clean.
Hardware Stores have many sizes, large - including 4 and 5 L -
and small ones, good for storing or transporting your milk.
Warehouse has 3 L, 2 L, 1 L and other sizes, also Briscoes has various sizes.
Resale shops, thrift and second hand stores often have glass jars.
Stainless steel "milk billy" containers can be ordered from farm supply stores - more updates will be posted.

Raw cheese is also under attack nationwide and world wide! see Manifesto in defense of Raw-milk Cheese at http://www.slowfood.com/eng/sf_eventi/sf_eventi_cheese.lasso
Also see Cheese of Choice Coalition on link. ---- "Cheese of Choice Coalition" (or CCC). ----
Oldways and the American Cheese Society organized the CCC to oppose governmental agencies that want to ban production and sale of cheese made from unpasteurized milks.
Worldwide, if such a ban were implemented, the following cheeses would be affected: Parmigiano-Reggiano; Swiss Emmental; Swiss Gruyere; Swiss Appenzell; Vigneron; Comte; Shelburne Farms Vermont Cheddar; Grafton Village Vermont Cheddar; Keen's and Montgomery's English Farmhouse cheddars; Spanish Idiazabal and Manchego; and many others.

LEARN WHY RAW MILK IS BEST, and why pasteurized milk is NOT RECOMMENDED!!! --- see http://www.realmilk.com/what.html --- and http://www.realmilk.com/indexpage.html
Ideally, you can find a local farmer who will be willing to sell you high quality raw milk.
If you can't obtain raw milk, try yoghurt, butter or cream, but NEVER use ultra-pasteurized. Regular pasteurization is not as damaging to butter or cream as it it to milk. With yoghurt, many of the enzymes are restored through the culturing process.
Consumer demand is needed to bring healthful, real raw milk back and have it easily accessable to all!!
**************************************************************
Real Milk - USA:
California: Organic Pastures Dairy Raw Milk is now sold in many small, independent health food stores throughout California, along with Organic Pastures Dairy raw butter, raw cream, and raw colostrum.!!! They also export to world markets.
"Organic Pastures Dairy Company was founded on a simple principle: care for our cows and the environment, and our milk will be of the highest quality. The herd grazes all day in certified organic pasture.
The cows eat only organic feeds. Unlike conventional dairies, no antibiotics or hormones disrupt the cows' health." -- Mark McAfee
The cows are humanely treated (in fact, each cow has her own name) and are REALLY, REALLY free-range, grass-fed cows!
