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’.

“Why don’t they just get a license to sell food?
They tried to set up a business and failed to do the proper paper work required. They got called on it.
All you conspiracy theorists really need to study just how much food is disposed of annually in this country because it doesn’t meet the gov’t standards. Food from the big corporate growers as well as the small farmers.
This 1200 eggs and 270 gallons of milk? Supermarkets dump more than that every week. It’s not unusual at all>
But hey! All your people that don’t care about food that meets regulations, you can have everything in the local supermarket dumpster for free.”

It’s all about CONTROL..
This IS a freedom issue! So stop with the accusatory comments you who are accusing others of dividing! Isn’t this a matter of government overreach? That can happen at state and local levels too! Some people just “trust” their government – boards, commissions, whatever to regulate all these things and if it doesn’t immediately touch them, don’t know, don’t care!
But these more personal losses of freedom concern me so much! Gotta get the word out and the reasoning behind our concern and objections!!
Yes, let’s unite and spread the word!
That would have made many families without food very happy. What is wrong with people? why throw it away? I’m so lost in this world with so much evil!
When people get sick or die who are they going to sue? WDA thats who. Was there license up to date? Was the contacts valid? How is this even a argument? It’s not the 1800s people its 2014. Follow the rules because when something goes wrong the first thing your going to blaming is the WDA for not making sure there contacts are good and the license are up to dated. The only person to blame on this 1 is the farmers

“This happens all across the country… The last time I checked farm subsidies and agricultural rationing were CONSERVATIVE principles… I guess that’s the kind of comments you leave when you are a BONEHEAD.”
