Over the past year, Hartkeisonline.com has made an effort to amass many voices of concern about the food safety bill working its way through Congress. This blog is devoted to rebuilding our rural communities with sustainable, mixed use farms, that represent the future of food safety. These are the very farms most at risk by more government intervention and control of the marketplace.
Please help us get the stories (below) to your U.S. Senator’s legislative aides for Agriculture and Health! Ask your Senator to consider becoming a sponsor of the exemption amendment proposed by the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, the Western Organization of Resource Councils and the Weston A. Price Foundation. If they are willing, contact kim dot hartke at gmail.com. See the reasons why they should, below!
