More Info:
Alvin Schlangen is a peaceful farmer and volunteer manager of Freedom Farms Coop (FFC). This venture serves to connect people with the food sources that meet their high standards for health by providing private access under lawful ownership of farm animals - for dairy food access. This is sustainable farming in reality - where the value of food supports the cost incurred...without government subsidies or harm to the environment. The balance of food options are purchased by the club, for the members.

Alvin Schlangen faces charges in 3 counties as well as administrative charges for doing this very thing.  Read more
