FTCLDF 2008 YEAR IN REVIEW (complete story)

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) provided representation in four major cases this year in an effort to defend the right of farmers to make a living and the right of consumers to have access to the foods of their choice. The Fund’s ultimate goal is for farmers to be able to legally sell the products of the farm direct to consumers without a permit. With the increased attempts by federal and state governments to make life more difficult for small farmers and restrict consumer freedom of choice, we have a ways to go before that day arrives. No matter what the timetable, the Fund’s mission will not change. Here is a brief recap of each of the Fund’s cases.
