We are pleased to announce that Pete Kennedy is now working for the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) as a consultant on policy and legal matters. Pete is a past president and original board member of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF). There is no charge for consultations with him for anyone who is a WAPF member.
Pete will be working on policy at the state level for WAPF, including advising members on state legislation regarding raw milk, cottage foods, food freedom, poultry processing and on-farm/custom slaughter. Pete has worked on successful state legislative efforts in all these areas. He is also available for consultation on any effort to change state administrative regulations and policies. Pete will be responsible for drafting action alerts for members on legislation, policy initiatives and other matters on the state level.
Raw milk laws will be a focus of his work. A long-term goal of WAPF is legal access to raw milk in all 50 states. That day is getting closer, there is currently legal access in 43 states. The seven states to go are: Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Pete will be consulting with members on legal issues pertaining to the right of consumers to have access to nutrient-dense foods and the rights of farmers and artisans to produce those foods. He will be available to work at the administrative level with members having an issue with regulators in federal, state or local government agencies.
In the past, Pete has worked on numerous matters involving FDA and USDA, state agriculture and health departments and local health departments on nutrient-dense foods. Work he has done at the federal, state and local administrative levels includes protecting farmers against threatened enforcement actions, handling food seizure, embargo and recall cases, and right-to-farm and zoning issues.
He will also be available for consultation with WAPF members on herdshare contracts and buyer’s club agreements; he has worked with hundreds of farmers around the country on herdshare contracts.
You can reach Pete by phone at (941) 349-4984 or by email at pete@realmilk.com.

Pete is so knowledgeable on this subject! He is a wonderful member of our team. Do you know if He or any one else has come across an Insurance company that will bond coverage for us folks who have herd shares OR sell Raw Milk? This continues to be a problem for my home owners insurance? I’m not looking for a special Policy, just your normal Home owners insurance or my small farm policy. My farm has gotten so much recognition from Social Media that my Insurance Company is talking about canceling my policy.
Wow to the above comment. I can’t wait to see an answer to that one and have a question too…Can you help me find the path to become licensed to sell raw milk cheese in Wyoming? aged 60 days of course. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all the support!
I imagine there is much more than “enough” legal work for just one individual. Especially if it involves people who may not be fully informed about the Law and consequently just rely upon legal information.
Since there was a German New Medicine presentation at a WAPF Conference I can say: In like manner as Dr. Hamer discovered the Biological Laws that when understood can free an individual from the fear of disease so has Dr. Ed Rivera[1] discovered the integrative continuity of the four Organic Laws that when understood together can free an individual from the fear of legal issues.
Will WAPF have a “clearinghouse” as an educational resource to support individuals becoming free from the fear of legal issues? If so then I’d most certainly like to contribute to that!
