An FTCLDF member describes her love for her cows
An FTCLDF member describes her love for her cows I enjoy our cows. They are self-supporting. I will go out and talk to them, and tell them I am here if you need anything. They take care of the grass, and I take care of them.
Joel speaking to the importance of FTCLDF
Joel speaking to the importance of FTCLDF "I’m dreaming for the day when the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is as powerful as the NRA. When Americans care as much about food freedom as they do about ammunition freedom, we will have a different society. Monsanto, Tyson, and Cargill will not walk with such a swagger."
