"Losing Store Bought Raw Dairy January 1, 2008" 12/30/2007

The following is from Aajonus Vonderplanitz


"Hi, Raw-Milk Lovers in every state and country,

We have failed to stop California's new law AB1735 that will make commercial raw milk relatively extinct in California, and eventually every state. Organic Pastures Dairy and Claravale Dairy failed to file for Injunctive relief in their lawsuit. That means that it could takes months or years to resolve in court. The same thing that happened to Stueve's Natural Dairy in 1999 which bankrupt that commercial raw dairy producer that maintained about 2,000 cows.

As everyone can see from the article (link) below, the state's response on Friday December 28, 2007 to Claravale and OPD's legal complaint was:

"Right now, the department is preparing to enforce the law when it takes effect," Van Rein said.

As I cautioned Ron at Claravale, Mark at OPD and Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund via emails, all of the niceties and assurances from any government official is nonsense regarding raw milk unless it is in writing and legal. As the State's spokesperson Van Rien stated, the State is preparing to enforce the new law January 1, 2008, and Mark McAfee's assurances from State officials that raw milk would not be interrupted were shallow and not legally binding.

We must get our consumer lawsuit mounted immediately. To get that lawsuit going and through the Injunctive process, $40,000 is required. To go beyond the Injunctive process, it will cost a lot more. Right To Choose Healthy Food gave $25,000 to begin the process. Right now, we need at least $15,000 to see us through the Injunctive process to stop the state from enforcing AB1735.

Please act now because raw milk will not be on your shelves in California very much after January 1, 2008. PLEASE donate immediately at

At that website, you can sign-up to be a petitioner/joiner on the lawsuit. We have about 500 people who have joined so far. We would like to have 10,000.

Thank you and have a wonderful New Year!
healthfully,
