Have you heard of FTCLDF?

Right now, they are fighting to lift the FDA's ban on interstate sales of raw butter. Can you believe that?? It's illegal to sell and/or transport nutrient-dense, vitamin-rich, raw dairy products like butter. Cray cray. 

Purchasing your meat, veggies, grains, bread, honey, or whatever it is you consume from local farmers and artisans is a huge step towards change in the American food system. In fact, it's the very best place to start. Without farms, there would be nothing to buy. Without customers, there would be no one to sell to. It's a harmonious cycle of people working together. 

 If you're looking for another outlet to help make a difference, check out becoming a member of the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund. "The FTCLDF believes consumers have the right to buy products directly from farmers..." We here at David's Pasture 100% agree. That's why we're members! Their website has a ton of really cool resources, and we love the fact that if we ever need legal help, we have them in our corner! You can check out their website and see more of what they're about here!



Hope your weekend is grand!

Meet Our Resident Hitchhikers

No, we don't have nomads camping on a corner of the farm...at least not that I know of. Today I'm referring to a different kind of hitchhiker; two plant species in particular. What are all those little seeds stuck to my shirt? While many folks refer to them using curse words, we call them sticktights. They are covered in tiny hooks that grab onto clothing, hair, and fur. These Velcro-like seed pods come from a plant called Beggar's Lice, or Tick Trefoil.

Ensuring a Bright Future for Our Food System

It's easy to get discouraged while surveying today's US food and economic landscapes. A large concern lately has been family-owned farms going out of business, and their land being purchased by corporations. Times get tough, the little guys go out of business, and the big guys just get bigger. Not the situation we'd choose, especially when some of those corporations are owned by foreign entities. 😬 But there's hope!
