Benefits of Membership

Membership in the FTCLDF provides Farmers, Consumers, Artisan Food Producers, Homesteaders, and Affiliate Communities with:

FREEDOM

Participation in direct commerce knowing that lobbying and advocacy are available in the event of government interference.

SECURITY

Our 24-hour toll-free hotline for legal emergencies any time of day or night to speak with an attorney if you receive a warning letter from a government agency or if there is a surprise visit or inspection from a government agency.

SOUND ADVICE

Unlimited consultation with attorneys on matters within our mission including advice on federal, state and local agriculture and health department regulations affecting direct distribution of farm and artisan food products. A dairy and farm consultant is also available to give advice on matters related to farm operations.

ACCURATE INFORMATION

Access to information on legal and regulatory issues that could affect your right to provide and obtain farm products and artisan foods.

LEGAL DEFENSE

Potential legal representation to defend access to and direct distribution of raw milk, other farm products, and artisan foods.

Consistent with Internal Revenue Service regulations, we cannot guarantee representation in every case. However, in practice, we will come to the aid of our members to protect and advance the rights of all to grow, raise, prepare, provide or obtain, and consume nutrient-dense foods.
