I won't sell milk. I will sell the goats so people can have their own milk, but that is it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Doreen, the author of the article, last year when I bought an Alpine bucking from her. Outstanding, strong, talented, smart lady!

YOU GO, DOREEN!

Here's a story about government harassment of a gentleman growing veggies.

It's a real heads up about what our government is trying to do.

If you control the food supply, you control the populace.

Just plain scary. If people want milk from us, we tell them they have to instead buy a "share" of the goat. We don't have a license to sell milk and can't afford to go the wrong way with all this. We just have a little backyard homestead type thing. We like to know where our food comes from.

I have gotten an email copy of the second article, which is about MorningLand Dairy here in southern Missouri. This is "Ozark Jewels," a frequent poster here and a friend of mine, and I have been to their place and purchased goats from them.

I'll post a link as soon as possible.

Big Brother is after us.

The article is on the author's blog. Doreen Hannes.

Here's the link to the blog. You will have to scroll down to Milk-It's a Menace!

Its do frustrating to read. You just want to reach through the computer and smack an idiot. Both of these stories are so freaking rediculous. Raw foods - the 21st century witch hunt.

If it hasn't been microwaved,irradiated, and sprayed with government approved chemicals, then it couldn't possibly be safe to eat. How they heck did the human race make it to this century without the world governments to tell people what was safe to eat?

I totally agree! I can't believe that it is possible now for major corporations to patent natural plants, animals, and animal product! It's a scary time.

Ain`t life grand, you can`t grow, pick, plant, or milk anything and sell to someone without fear of being caught and jailed. They make you feel like a drug runner when selling raw milk to the public. I will always try and sell farm grown products to the public but it is getting harder and harder. >Thanks Marc
