I have just discovered that a bill has been proposed that will ensure farmer’s markets, roadside produce sellers, and CSA’s will fairly die out. The article that breaks it down is here:
The site that tracks how far it’s made it from introduction to being signed off by the president is here:
I pray this doesn’t make it. I hope that someone sees that taking away the rights of the small-scale grower from selling their produce will make hard times even harder on many of us trying to survive in a decayed economy.
Why, oh why, would they hinder the american public from making money any way they can in a legitimate and legal way? Hindering this right will only encourage more under-handed behaviors. I am feeling a distinct lack of faith in our government right now.
