The Michigan Dept. of Agriculture last year forced Joe and Brenda Golimbieski, the owners of Hill High Dairy and Jenny Samuelson, the owner of My Family Co-op, to dump 248 gallons of organic milk and destroy 100 dozen eggs along with fresh cream, butter and cheese after accusing them of “selling food without a license.”
Their farm is a co-op, however, where people must buy shares to obtain food. The MDA stated that their contracts were invalid so the food wasn’t ‘shared’, but ‘sold’.

“You do realize that Michigan is a Republican governed state, using the Libertarian principles of “free enterprise” for corporate persons, and overweening governmental regulation on small, independent business, don’t you? Blaming Democrats for the evils wrought by the GOP is pretty sad.”

If you can’t vote them out of office…vote with your feet…move to a state that supports family farms.

“If the government can’t get a tax from you, they are not going to let you grow it or purchase from someone who does grow it. So soon the government will have their fingers in farmers markets(for taxes) and side of roadstands. We the people are losing our rights to do just about anything. That is what is sad.”
