We've seen many recent news articles written about Michael and the Glencolton farm share holders, around their fight for Food Freedom and Raw Milk. They have been accused of, harassed and charged with many things, and some news articles have told a very one sided, biased version.
Now listen to Michael tell their compelling side of the story in this press conference. Not to be missed!
They want to draw the line in the sand and say no more to bullying small, sustainable farmers, and no more to unreasonable interference between farmers and their consumers.
Below is the link to the full press conference held at Queens Park, Toronto on 25 Nov 2015. The video clip is 27 minutes long, click on the picture to watch.

Signing the Declaration of Food rights 26 Nov 2015
The Queen and many generations of the royal family are known to drink raw milk
Michael is a farmer who has endured government assaults to his property and livelihood for the last 20 years. We stood with Michael in his hunger strike to achieve dialogue with his provincial premiere, and now Michael asks us to also support other farmers, like Vernon Hershberger, in their stand for freedom. Join our team effort to draw the line in the sand and say no more to bullying small, sustainable farmers, and no more to unreasonable interference between farmers and their consumers.
