Legal Defense Fund To Defend Direct Farm Sales

Washington, DC., July 23. 2007 /Natural Newswire/ -- Small farmers – and the consumers who support them – celebrated the Fourth of July with the launch of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.

“We hope to restore family farms to the prominent place they once held in American society,”says Taaron Meikle, President of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund and a fifth generation member of a Colorado farming family. “Our Founding Fathers saw family farms as the very backbone of American society.
