Save Our Organic Farms!!!

Please help me stop HR 875. In its current form, the bill would prevent small local organic farms and community gardeners from growing and selling you nutritious, truly fresh, organic produce. The bill would effectively ban small farming and outlaw organic gardening. It would crush our small local food producers by imposing heavy government regulation that only large corporations could adhere to. Imagine:

  • No more farmers markets.
  • No more garden fresh, seasonal ingredients from the local farmer at your favorite restaurant.
  • No more roadside stands with fresh picked sweet corn, juicy ripe tomatoes, or refreshing
    watermelons in the summer.

Americans would essentially be forced to only eat corporately manufactured, chemically treated, hermetically sealed, irradiated fruits and vegetables. Stop this abomination now.

To prevent this bill, act now by signing the petition!

I had read about this before. I had also read some things on the web that further explained the bill and contradicted this! Not sure what the truth is but I signed the petition anyway. We are going to grow a garden at our new house! I can't wait!
