Basically, this family started a co-op, which is a private membership organization where families band together and buy food in bulk and many times locally.

The power in this country (unions, retail, FDA, USDA and mega-farmers as well as Dow & Monsanto) are pulling out no stops to shut down small farms and anything not chemically created.

We should have the right to eat food grown on a farm without a mega-corporation making money.

We should have the right to band together to cut costs without the mega-grocery stores & WalMart taking their cuts.

We used to have these rights and while we are busy blogging, twittering & texting-they are being yanked away by coercion and force.

This is disgusting...what in the world is going on...is this government going mad??
I hate to say how much I have learned about our country in the past few years (mostly from being online) how disappointed I am, to say the least...I feel as though we are at the mercy of the big corporations and that they will use us for their own profit...Terrorizing a family in their own home for wanting to eat healthy???...I want so much to say more...but I am so angry. This going in my WTF folder...thanks for sharing (it deserves more pops ) Hell, it needs more views...let's put it out there again....

I already knew about this (and other cases) but I'm happy to give it a pop. If you look up NAIS on Health Spectator, you'll find a video narrated by Linda Faillace, whose farm was raided and her sheep slaughtered in a similar act of intimidation by the USDA.
