I have been really concerned
over the impending passage of
Food Safety laws that would add more
regulations to local organic farmers
who are already regulated by the USDA
HERE IS LINK.
We have one more week to push back this legislation.
If nothing is done this week.
We will have more time to educate and activate our
local support to get a better Food Safety Law in that
understands that real food safety comes from
local real food up. Big Ag is always going to
have contamination problems.

Close encounter of the bobcat kind.
Farmer Phil woke up one night because the dogs where barking. Armed with only a flashlight, he went to investigate and at first, didn't see anything.
On his way back to the house he decided to shine the light in the trees, and there was a bobcat in the pepper tree above the chicken coupe.
With the dogs by his side to protect him, he entered the chicken coupe expecting the bob cat to flee. It didn't move.
Obviously the bobcat knew Phil was there, he must have know when he came out the front door and down the hill to the coupe.
After staring at each other for 5 minutes, less than 3 feet apart, Phil tapped the flashlight on the tin roof and the bobcat took off.
A once in a lifetime close encounter with a wild bobcat.
