For Farmers and Consumers Defending the Right to Buy and Protecting the
Right to Sell Nutritious Food Directly from the Farm
Our Mission at FTCLDF

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is a 501 (c) (4) non-profit organization made up of farmers and consumers joining together and pooling resources to:
• Protect the constitutional right of the nation’s family farms to provide processed and unprocessed farm foods directly to consumers through any legal means.
• Protect the constitutional right of consumers to obtain unprocessed and processed farm foods directly from family farms.
• Protect the nation’s family farms from harassment by federal, state, and local government interference with food production and on-farm food processing.
PROTECTING     FIGHTING
• Raw Milk
• Livestock Farmers
• Vegetable Farmers		 • On-farm Processing
• Animal Health		 • National Animal ID System (NAIS)
• Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
• Restrictions of direct sales
 

Oppose HR 2749, a bill that fails to address the real issues of food safety yet gives FDA increased power with less accountability. Its one-size-fits-all regulatory scheme will impact small farms and artisanal producers for the worse. 

Support HR 778 Now, a bill that would effectively end the current federal ban on raw milk and raw milk products for human consumption in interstate commerce.
