While Americans in the nearby city of Detroit face life in third world conditions, unable to even afford running water, the state of Michigan decided to direct its resources towards cracking down on a small food co-op in Standish for having the utter audacity to provide milk, butter, cream and eggs to people who bought shares in the organic dairy.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture must be so proud of their deeds, after they forced Joe and Brenda Golimbieski, the owners of Hill High Dairy and Jenny Samuelson, the owner of My Family Co-op, to dump out 248 gallons of milk, to break 100 dozen eggs, and to destroy an undisclosed amount of fresh cream, butter and cheese.
According to a post on the Hill High Dairy page on Facebook, the agents from the MDA stood over the family, watching as the food was destroyed.
100 dozen eggs… Each egg had to be broken. 248 gallons dumped in a sprayer that had to be witnessed by MDA being dumped and sprayed on the field.

What a waste.
Your terrorist government at work!
Those that force this sort of anarchy and blatant disregard of freedom are the very ones that need to be publicly executed by local firing squad. A well armed and trained militia with local interests in their hearts is the only message tyranny will understand.
The factory farming industry doesn't want small properly run farms. This farm is the way things used to be and still should. Animals in the pasture no hormones and anti biotics. If this catches on might put big Ag out of business
Big agra will go down with the Dollar. as will big pharma walmart and any other mega employers.
SHAME on the Michigan government.
You are so right 2:34. The once niche concept of from Farm to Table is starting to hit Big Agribusiness in the pocketbook, so they are sending in government to do their dirty work and rid the nation of small independent real true family farmers.
They have already had the government redefine terms such as natural, free range, organic to the point of such bastardization the labeling on food means nothing anymore.
If you do not know your farmer and trust them, you do not really know your food and it's a shame. More people are concerned about what they put into their automobiles than what they shove into their children's mouths.
I'd be in jail, or worse. I have a small farm, and produce for my family. However, everyone needs things, so bartering livestock and other foods, is a great way to live with less government needs. The EBT abusers should get a cow, some chickens and a garden...that's it. If they survive, great... if not, oh well. We're all better off, either way.
4:52-Then you are wise to remain anonymous.
Michell Obama must have said the food didn't meet her standard.
This is where a militia needs to be called in. The people that are actually enforcing the so called regulations need to pay a very high personal price for there transgressions. They may threaten you with arrest today, but they may be begging for their right to breath tomorrow night.
The only way this totalitarian aggression will stop is if the people that are enforcing it pay the price and refuse to do it anymore in the interest of common sense... (and their personal well being) If you know someone personally that enforces these kinds of ridiculous "laws" let them know how you feel, then make them aware of the possible repercussions, then ignore them, isolate them and punish them. They will get the message.
I'm not anonymous, but I'm well armed.
If that was my farm, the Gestapo wouldn't make it to the house. As soon as I saw that caravan of SS troops coming down the driveway, withering fire wouldn't begin to describe what they would be facing.
Up until the late 1930's, millions of American citizens fed themselves from their own farm. Cows, chickens, cattle, sheep, etc.
What's next? You can't sew your own clothes?
WHEN will you simple minded sheep, who love being told how and when to do everything, get tired of being led around by a bunch of strangers who couldn't tell you the difference between a duck and a chicken, even if they had a photograph? But WILL send ARMED enforcers to kill you for resisting their "wisdom"?
You gotta stand for something, sooner or later, or be found flat on your back, flat lining.
Still think "voting" matters? What has "your guy" done?
Still think your "leaders" give a rats ace about what is good or right? They care about MONEY and power. That's why they spend ---- EIGHTY PERCENT !!! ---- of their time trying to get MORE money.
Which is exactly their job description, right? Twenty percent of their time is spend "representing" us and the rest is spent on sodomizing others for cash.
And you keep re-electing them.
Again, I suggest taking them out in the street and hanging them while they watch each other and wait their turn.
Thomas Jefferson urged the same thing, too. Traitor and scalawag that he was....
