Wisconsin farmer on trial for feeding his community

May 20-24, 2013

Sauk County courthouse 515 Oak Street Baraboo WI

Background: Vernon Hershberger supplies wholesome food to a private food club of 200 members.  The outcome of his trial will set precedent for all food clubs around the country! If Vernon is found guilty, not only could he go to prison for more than a year, we will see criminal charges, or the threat of criminal charges, used to shut down buying clubs around the country! Please support this event in any way possible!!

While Vernon is on trial in the courtroom, raw milk is on trial in the court of public opinion.  Join us for a “Grow Your Food Freedom” meeting and networking event happening in conjunction with the trial.  Notable speakers/activists from around the country will be sharing their knowledge at this community event.  There will be movie screenings in the evenings.  It will be at the Ringling Brothers Theater across the street from the courthouse.  (schedule forthcoming) Local/real foods lunches and dinners will be available to purchase.  Please join us!  Sponsored by the Farm Food Freedom Coalition FarmFoodFreedom.org
